Explanation:
Leave the "s" off, it's genetive. This is a common enough labor market term (mostly in English -- flexibility is still a novel concept in German ;-)

Gleitzeitsparbuchs
flextime account


Explanation:
This refers to points/time granted -- i.e. "posted" to the account -- for working within a flextime scheme; the points/time accumulated can be used for a variety of things. see below:

Lösungsansatz - Beschreibung des neuen flexiblen Arbeitszeitsystems
Verschiedene Arbeitszeitflexibilisierungsmodelle wurden eingeführt (Teilzeit,
Gleitzeit, flexible Pausenzeiten usw.), u. a. wurde ein „Gleitzeitsparbuch“ initiiert.
Die Rahmenbedingungen für das Gleitzeitsparbuch sind:
l Gleitzeitguthaben von über 16 Stunden monatlich werden automatisch am
Monatsende zusammen mit 25% Zeitzuschlag auf das persönliche
Sparbuch übertragen.
l Angeordnete, zwischen Unternehmensleitung und Betriebsrat vereinbarte
Mehrarbeit kann nicht übertragen werden.
l Guthaben vom Gleitzeitsparbuch abzurufen („Gleitzeitfreizeit“) ist z. B.
möglich für:
l Zusätzliche Erholungstage,
l Langzeitferien,
l Förderung von Familie und Kinderbetreuung,
l persönliche Bildungsmaßnahmen,
l vorzeitigen Ruhestand, verkürzte Lebensarbeitszeit.
l Frühestmöglich, aber spätestens sechs Wochen vor Antritt ist die
Gleitzeitfreizeit beim Vorgesetzten anzumelden, um ihm Gelegenheit zu
geben, organisatorische Maßnahmen zu treffen.

  -> thanks! ;-)

agree  writeaway: as Kevin says, it's a simple enough term to find. Gleitzeit is in the dico and so is Sparbuch...
