Truancy after the vacations has consequences

Coming back later from vacation because travel is cheaper then: This can be expensive for parents of schoolchildren. School attendance is compulsory in Baden-Württemberg. The legal basis for this is the state‘s school attendance ordinance. It states, among other things: “Every pupil is obliged to attend classes (…) regularly and properly.“ In the case of minors, parents must ensure that this is complied with. A leave of absence from school is only possible “in particularly justified exceptional cases“, writes Florian Mader from the Ministry of Education at the request of tuenews INTERNATIONAL. Vacation trips that begin before or end after… Read More

Take a break with sport

There are three table tennis tables and a basketball hoop on Europaplatz in front of Tübingen main station.

This was announced by the city of Tübingen. Large banners have also been installed on the site of the old bus station. They show silhouettes by the artist Lotte Reiniger. The local council has yet to decide how the 500 square meter area… Read More

No train to Ammertal during the vacations

Bus instead of train: This applies during the summer vacation from Tuesday, July 30, to Sunday, September 8, on the route between Tübingen and Herrenberg. Due to construction work on the line from Tübingen to Nürtingen, the overhead line at Tübingen main station will be switched off. This means that electric trains cannot run on the Ammertalbahn. Originally, diesel locomotives were supposed to run there. However, DB Regio has announced that it does not have enough diesel trains available. A bridge is being replaced on the line from Tübingen to Stuttgart. For this reason, only buses will be running between… Read More

Holidays do not automatically expire

Shortly before the end of the year, many employees ask themselves: Do my remaining days of holiday actually expire if I do not take them by the end of December? In most cases, no. But the details are rather complicated. It is easiest if there is a clear regulation in the company. Often you can then carry over holiday days into the new year and have to take them by 31 March. The personnel department or the works council will know the exact rules. In principle, however, leave is no longer automatically forfeited. This has been decided by the European… Read More
