Working hours between Christmas and New Year
Where the work situation allows for this, State employees may start their work day at 10 am between Christmas and New Year.
This does not imply that everyone is entitled to a two hour reduction of their working time, but this is an opportunity to come to work later than usual. Therefore, it is not possible to accrue flexitime between 8 and 10 am.
Part-time employees with less than 5.45 working hours per day don't receive a reduction of their work time but may nevertheless opt to start their work day at 10 am.
Where the work situation does not allow for absence between 8 and 10 am, working hours are as usual.
