The EU institutions offer a modern workplace where autonomy is the norm. You also benefit from a legally protected right to disconnect and the chance to work from your home country for a certain number of days each year. We make every effort to prioritise your well-being as much as your impact.
Working arrangements are generally based on a decision adopted by each EU institution. Key features include
- most institutions offer hybrid working arrangements (typically between 20% and 60% telework)
- a set number of days a year to telework from abroad to support family life
- the recognition of the ‘right to disconnect’ as a fundamental health and safety principle in all EU workplaces
- a standard 40-hour working week with flexible working time arrangements
