Cash in an envelope is a traditional, appreciated Christmas gift to grand children and young relatives. But does it still feel like paying with real money? Carin Rehncrona writes in The Conversation about the "pain of payment effect" and how we have shifted from thinking that cash is more painful to spend than digital money, to the opposite – that purchases with cash don't feel like they are part

Vi förväntar oss en förändring i arbetslagstiftningen som träder i kraft den 1 oktober i år. Det som händer i höst är att allmän visstidsanställning, vilket är alla visstidsanställningar inklusive timanställningar men inte vikariat, försvinner som anställningsform och ersätts av särskild visstidsanställning (SÄVA). Den nya företrädesrätten kräver ökad administration och kan eventuellt komma att in

Äntligen är vi framme vid ventilationsprojektets utförandefas! Åratal av planering och den vanligaste upptäckten (att ”det här har visst ingen tänkt på”) har förhoppningsvis gjort oss så förberedda som vi kan bli. Vad är det då som händer? Hela fläktsystemet uppe på vinden byts ut, med de delar som berör Ekologihusets byggnadsdelar C, D och E i år, och A, B och F nästa år. 1 juni stängs den berörd

Grunden i lagstiftning är att tillsvidareanställning blir ännu starkare norm och visstidsanställningar konverteras snabbare till tillsvidareanställningar. Tiden är 1 år som visstidsanställd istället för som tidigare 2 år, och räknas retroaktivt från 1 mars i år. Vad innebär de nya reglerna för våra olika anställningar? Allmän visstidsanställning (ALVA) Dessa anställningar gäller enligt gamla regle

Återsamlingsplatsen för brandlarm i Ekologihuset är flyttad från parkeringsplatsen framför godsmottagningen på Naturvetarvägen 6A, till gräsmattan mellan Ekologihuset och Biologihuset, mellan husflyglarna D och E, nära den lilla bron över bäcken "Bäcken".
