The head of the German Federation of Trade Unions (DGB), Yasmin Fahimi, is calling for heat loss benefits in Germany. “In extreme cases, there will be a loss of work due to weather in the future,” Fahimi told the German Press Agency. “Therefore, the legislature is called upon to find regulations that ensure solidarity for future loss benefits for employees and employers.” Fahimi’s demand is not without reason: a hot day costs the German economy 431 million euros.

Tax affairs can become increasingly complicated without the business owner realising it. A company may grow. A director may start taking money from the business in different ways. A sole trader may add a second income stream. A landlord may begin running…
A business relationship can take months to build and only minutes to approve. A supplier presents a strong proposal. A potential partner offers attractive commercial terms. A service provider appears to understand the company’s needs. After a few meetings, the decision may seem obvious. Yet businesses that move too quickly can overlook a basic question: what is known about the company behind the proposal? This question is becoming increasingly important as businesses work with more suppliers, agencies and partners across borders. A company may be based in the United Kingdom, while its customers, investors or commercial partners are located elsewhere…
For professionals who depend on their laptops every day, running out of power is more than a minor inconvenience.
