A technical malfunction is causing massive restrictions in Berlin courts. Employees were sent home. Judges warn: In the worst case, suspected criminals would have to be released from custody.
Anyone who applies and wants to know what the salary is for an advertised position will usually not find out directly in the respective job advertisement. However, that is apparently changing: in the first half of 2026, 24.1 percent of all advertised positions contained salary information, the first noticeable increase in years.

The general secretary of the PP of Madrid, Alfonso Serrano, has left the information meeting organized by Nueva Economía Fórum at the Four Seasons hotel, repeating a resounding “of course” up to five times when asked if he maintained his…
The company pension scheme (bAV) is one of the most efficient instruments of modern compensation architecture. However, in practice it is still managed like an insurance product. But with the Second Company Pension Strengthening Act (BRSG II), which came into force in January, and the EU Pay Transparency Directive, which Germany must have enacted into national law by June 7th, companies should finally close the gap in their company pension offerings.
