What should and should not be included in a job reference?
Inadequate performance or personal differences in the workplace can lead to dismissal. Nevertheless, even in such cases, the employees concerned are entitled to a fair reference. In this blog, we would like to show you what does and does not belong in a reference.
Persons who have fulfilled the contribution obligation are entitled to an ordinary pension. The contribution period determines whether a full or partial pension can be paid. The contribution period is complete if the contribution obligation has lasted 44 years, from the age of 21 until the reference age (formerly: “ordinary retirement age”). For women born between 1961 and 1964, this is between 43 and 44 years.
The contribution period is considered incomplete if there are fewer than 44 contribution years. This results in contribution gaps. This results in a partial pension being paid out. The reduction is 1/44 for each missing contribution year.
Federal Court imposes an expiration date on building zones

Around 100 years ago, almost all single people stood in front of the altar at least once in their lives to say “I do”. Today, this figure is still around half in Switzerland. Nevertheless, many couples who live in a cohabitation want to be each other’s heirs. What needs to be considered.
Debt should not mean the end – A second chance for those affected
In Switzerland, debt is often a permanent burden. But this could now change – thanks to the introduction of residual debt discharge.
Can I give my tenants notice if they are too loud at night and the other tenants are bothered by it?
There does not have to be a special reason to terminate a tenancy agreement. However, a cancellation can be contested if it is contrary to good faith. This is the case if it is issued without an objective, serious interest worthy of protection.
