Some organisations offer them (especially public service) if you work extra hours. The Mrs gets one a month for work 30 mins extra a day.

We call them ADOs over our end.......... Additional Day Off. Work 80 hours a fortnight, get paid for 76, get a day off a month. Save them up for 5 years and take 12 weeks off as one of my colleagues has just done. Ripper.
