Sick on vacation: What applies to employees?

It is not uncommon for employees to become ill while on vacation. What is to be done then? The Federal Vacation Act clearly stipulates in this case: According to § 9, sick days are not counted towards annual leave. However, the prerequisite for this is that the inability to work is proven by a medical certificate. Not every illness automatically leads to incapacity for work. Incapacitated for work means that the illness prevents the employee from performing his or her specific work. The employer must be informed of the inability to work as soon as possible by telephone or e-mail.… Read More

Supermarket: The price at the checkout is valid

In the supermarket, the price at the checkout is valid—not the price on the shelf. This is pointed out by Stiftung Warentest and the consumer advice centre in Berlin, among others. The reason for this is the Price Indication Ordinance. This can result in a supposed bargain not being a bargain in reality. An example: On the shelf, the bottle of washing-up liquid is listed as a special offer with a price of 88 cents. At the checkout, however, the cashier enters 1.09 euros. The customer complains and insists on the lower price. In the end, she only paid the… Read More

Little work and a lot of money: the police and consumer advice centers warn against such job offers. These offers are usually dubious and can have expensive consequences. One example: A young Syrian from Rottenburg, who was unemployed for a short time, discovered a job offer on the Internet—customer service at an international financial services provider. He got the job. Allegedly, he was supposed to advise customers as a financial agent on Bitcoin issues, among other things. In return, there was to be an hourly wage of 100 euros. In reality, the young man converted money into cryptocurrencies for fraudsters… Read More
