As part of an austerity drive, the Greek government has scrapped six days of extra holiday awarded to civil servants for using computers.
The leave was granted in 1989 to all who worked on a computer for more than five hours per day.
However, Reform Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on TV the custom "belonged to another era".
The BBC reports the decision is part of the government's reform of the public sector in a bid to meet bailout terms.
Greece received two bailouts from the eurozone and the International Monetary Fund totalling about 240 billion euros on condition that the government imposes cuts and implements restructuring.
The working hours saved by scrapping the computer leave would be the equivalent of an extra 5,000 employees, Mr Mitsotakis told Skai TV on Thursday.
He described it as "small, yet symbolic" step in modernising an outdated civil service.
The BBC reports that other perks that have already been scrapped include a bonus for showing up to work and passing on a dead father's pension to his unmarried daughters.
In July, parliament approved plans to reform the public sector, placing up to 25,000 public sector employees into a pool by the end of the year, when they will either face redeployment or redundancy.
Greece has an employment rate of 27%.
