We are driven by constant change.

In the second part of our article on vacation calculation, we cast light on the specific issues connected to dormant employment relationships, short-time work, long-term illness and part-time retirement in block models.

The German Skilled Immigration Act (Fachkräfteeinwanderungsgesetz), which has been eagerly awaited by many industries, entered into force on March 1, 2020. It being the peak of the coronavirus pandemic, its introduction went almost unnoticed. As we slowly return to normality, companies are turning their mind to recruitment again – a reason for us to look at what has actually been done by the Skilled Immigration Act.

Vacation calculation is a »permanent fixture« of our consulting. Special configurations, such as those relating to a change in the number of working days per week or various retirement situations, regularly cause employers and employees to lose the overview – not least because the European Court of Justice regularly has its fingers in the vacation law pie and often »makes things worse by making them better«.
