Tübingen supports Kremenchuk

There is a lack of many things: The mayors of Tübingen and the Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk spoke to each other online for the first time about the current situation. In the conversation, however, Boris Palmer and Vitaly Maletsky also discussed the long-term perspective of a relationship between the two cities. Kremenchuk is an industrial, commercial and university city with more than 200,000 inhabitants in central Ukraine. After the Russian missile attacks, the main concern now is “to survive the winter,” Maletsky said. That means reliably supplying the city with energy, water and electricity during the cold season.

Set the clock back on Sunday

Next Sunday, 29 October 2023, Central European Summer Time (CEST), which officially applies throughout Europe, will be changed to “standard time”. Those who are still awake in the early morning will set their clocks back from 3 am to 2 am. This means sleeping one hour longer.

Model experiment on the four-day week

In Germany, the introduction of a four-day week in companies is being discussed. However, no decision has been made yet. Trade unions like IG Metall are in favour, employers warn that it is not financially feasible. In order to get more facts, 50 companies can now participate in a model project. This will test what happens if employees work only four days a week instead of five, but receive the same money. Proponents argue that employees are more motivated and concentrated and suffer less from stress. Opponents fear rising labour costs. The project is organised by the consulting agency Intraprenör… Read More

Tax ID: A number for life

In Germany (almost) nothing works without a tax identification number (IdNr): The eleven-digit identification number issued by the Federal Central Tax Office (Bundeszentralamt für Steuern, BZSt) is needed for the salary slip at work as well as for applying for child benefit or care allowance. You also need it to open a bank account or register a car. The job centre also asks for the IdNR, which is often colloquially called the tax ID. The tax ID is valid for life and does not change even if you move or get married. This can be found on the homepage of… Read More
