According to Financial Times, the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions reports that 65% of Latvian and Swedish firms with more than 10 employees have flexitime schemes.  

Twenty-one thousand employers and employees from both private and public sectors of 21 EU member-states took part in the research. Latvia and Sweden shared the top position. Following are Finland (where 62% of firms permit their employees to work flexitime), Great Britain (56%), Germany (51%), France (48%), Spain (43%) and Italy (40%).

The least flexible labour market is that of Cyprus, where the number is as low as 17%. Slightly more flexible are Portuguese (23%) and Greek (29%) employers.

It should be added that the advantages of a flexible working scheme are as follows: the employer saves on paying for overtime work, manufacturing process may be adapted to the system of orders and the employees are more positive about their work.
