Austria: Off on holiday! What are the legal requirements? - GlobalComplianceNews

Image
In brief The summer holiday season has begun. While many employees are looking forward to a well-deserved break, companies often ask themselves how best to manage staff capacity during the holiday period. In Austria, there are relatively strict holiday rules for both employers and employees. Here are some “highlights” that are particularly relevant for companies during the summer months: Yes, but only in absolutely exceptional cases. These cases apply when the company is in a particularly difficult situation and a specific employee is urgently needed to prevent serious disadvantages. For example, this could be the case if an IT specialist is needed to resolve a technical emergency. No. This is because leave is always a matter of agreement, and the agreed end of leave cannot simply be changed unilaterally. A unilateral extension of a holiday by an employee (e.g., because they like the holiday location so much) can lead to dismissal without notice. Short-term illness has no conseq

Want a beach holiday without the heat? Here’s where to go in Europe - Euronews

Travel by train, bus or ferry to make sure you’re not contributing to global warming. Want a summer beach holiday but worried about the heatwaves in Europe? With extreme heat sweeping popular seaside destinations in the Mediterranean and beyond, their appeal is starting to dwindle. But don’t unpack your swimsuit just yet. Many beaches in northern and western Europe still have sub-30°C temperatures that will keep your dreams of bearable sun, sea and sand alive. Here are some of the best beach destinations in Europe that aren’t currently hit by heatwaves .  Hike dramatic limestone cliffs in Lagos, Portugal The sun is shining on Portugal’ s Algarve - but most places are only seeing highs of between 24 and 30°C.

Decades after Billie Holiday’s death, ‘Strange Fruit’ is still a searing testament to injustice – and of faithful solidarity with suffering - The Conversation

Sixty-five years ago, on July 17, 1959, Billie Holiday died at Metropolitan Hospital in New York. The 44-year-old singer arrived after being turned away from a nearby charity hospital on evidence of drug use, then lay for hours on a stretcher in the hallway, unrecognized and unattended . Her estate amounted to 70 cents in the bank and a roll of bills concealed on her person, her share of the payment for a tabloid interview she gave on her deathbed . Today, Holiday is revered as one of the most influential musical artists of all time. Time magazine named her 1939 recording of “Strange Fruit” the song of the 20th century. “In this sad, shadowy song about lynching in the South,” Time wrote in 1999, “history’s greatest jazz singer comes to terms with history itself.” Abel Meeropol , a New York City teacher and songwriter who used the pen name Lewis Allan, wrote “Strange Fruit” after seeing a photograph of a lynching that shocked and haunted him : “Black body swinging in the Southern b

Heads up for a holiday in Asia today - Japanese markets are closed (no UST physical trade) - ForexLive

Image
Japanese markets are closed for the public holiday in Japan today, its Marine Day. Marine Day, or "Umi no Hi," is a national holiday in Japan celebrated on the third Monday of July. It honors the ocean's importance to Japan as an island nation and recognizes maritime activities and the economic and cultural significance of the sea. The holiday also encourages people to reflect on the blessings of the ocean and to think about the environment. Many people celebrate by spending time at the beach, participating in marine-related events, and enjoying water sports. Physical US bond trade during Asian hours is primarily in Japan. So, with the absence of Japanese markets today UST physical trade will be barely existent during the timezone here. Japan is one of the largest holders of US Treasury securities. The high demand and substantial holdings of US Treasuries in Japan create a deep and liquid market, which attracts traders and institutions looking to buy or sell these b

Amy went to Porto by herself but came back with a friend (Picture: Amy Matthews) Sitting outside a restaurant in Porto, Portugal – I smiled as I watched the world go by. I was relaxing after I had enjoyed the most incredible brunch complete with a traditional croquette and some white port, when a softly spoken gentleman appeared and asked if he could share the table. It was a very busy restaurant and I was technically at a table for two, so I gestured to the chair and he joined me. Now, there’s always a moment as a woman alone in public where, when you’re approached by a man, you’re concerned.  Will they do or say something that puts you at ease? Or will they confirm your initial suspicion that you are indeed going to have to find an excuse to leave? Luckily the gentleman did the former. But for those thinking this is the start of a whirlwind holiday romance , allow me to burst your bubble – I am not his type. ‘My husband is back in England,’ he smiled. ‘And I’m meeti
