The fruit basket: real benefit or consolation?

The fruit basket in the employee kitchen is a well-known benefit. But a new analysis by the Index Group shows that he is no longer that popular in job advertisements. Only 0.3 percent of all job offers mentioned it in May 2026. An unsurprising development and some job seekers will breathe a sigh of relief. Because they are likely to be quite frustrated if, during the laborious job search, they also have to sort out those advertisements that advertise benefits that are long past their peak. Nothing says “we’re not keeping up with the times” more clearly than mentioning a…

No more either/or in payroll – how modern software and flexible services combine opposites

In-house or outsourcing? Software or service? Control or relief? In payroll accounting, these contrasts are often still considered fundamental strategic decisions. But modern companies today need more flexibility than rigid either/or models can offer. In this webinar, Philipp Hoffmann and Mandy Hopfe from Paychex Europe show why traditional ways of thinking in payroll are increasingly reaching their limits – and how modern payroll platforms intelligently combine apparent opposites. Using practical examples and live demos, you will learn how companies can combine efficiency and resilience, maintain transparency and control despite outsourcing, or combine digital self-services with personal expert support.

Latest political news, live | The PP disdains Junts’ proposal that Sánchez make way for another candidate

This Thursday, the PP rejected the proposal launched by Junts in Congress for the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, to “step aside” and make way for another candidate for the presidency, without calling elections. According to the PP Deputy Secretary of Health and Social Policy, Carmen Fúnez, it is nothing more than “a kick forward” to not “face the reality” of the corruption cases that affect the Government and the PSOE. Meanwhile, Congress is holding the last ordinary plenary session of the session this Thursday, in which deputies will vote on the PP motion to ask the Government to…

ePA: Company doctors should automatically have access to patient files

The Federal Ministry of Health (BMG) plans to grant company doctors access to all data in the electronic patient record (ePA) without the consent of the insured employees being necessary. This emerges from a draft bill for the law for data and digital innovation in healthcare (GeDIG), which was presented at the beginning of May 2026. We show what the draft bill specifically envisages, what associations think of the plans and what health data company doctors are currently allowed to view.

Sánchez rushes the last cartridges to keep the legislature alive before going to the polls

This Wednesday’s plenary session in Congress was completely different from that of a year ago. Then, in July 2025, Pedro Sánchez also appeared under political siege from the opposition for a serious corruption scandal, the Cerdán case. But he managed to emerge victorious or at least achieve a clear political extension. The president made several announcements of a package of anti-corruption measures that allowed him to offer the image that, despite the difficulties, his partners would continue to support him to finish the legislature. But then came the breakup of Junts, the increasing distance from Podemos, some tensions with the…

The debate on corruption leaves Sánchez increasingly alone

A boomerang toured the Congressional chamber this Wednesday and rushed towards Pedro Sánchez. Flying through the air were the words that the current President of the Government dedicated in his day to the corruption of the PP and the plea in defense of cleanliness in politics with which the recently convicted José Luis Ábalos had justified the motion of censure against Mariano Rajoy on behalf of the PSOE. Those phrases were now revived in other very different mouths, those of Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Santiago Abascal, to place the president in the mirror of the judicial cases that besiege him.…
