The total amount of the profit-sharing scheme for the Tamedia division amounts to CHF 7.18 million, as Tamedia writes in a press release. Employees can decide whether they wish to receive the amount in cash or in the form of shares. Employees who receive the profit-sharing bonus in the form of shares will benefit from an increase of 20 percent. Tamedia's profit-sharing model has been in place for more than ten years.

In order to give all employees a share in the profit they have generated, Tamedia has decided to voluntarily pay Edipresse Suisse employees a profit share based on the previous Edipresse model for the last time. A total of CHF 0.75 million will be paid out under the Edipresse Suisse profit-sharing model. From the 2012 financial year, all employees will participate in Tamedia's profit-sharing model.

Subscribers to a Zattoo HiQ account in Germany can watch ARD, ZDF and Arte in HD quality starting today, according to a statement.

As a result, the newspaper and its managers expect a closer look at the issue of tax fraud, "which is to be eliminated by agreement", as Blome explained in an interview with the SDA news agency on Wednesday. It is also about Germany's credibility: "How much tax evasion can a state allow that demands a lot from the lower classes by law and severely punishes misconduct in the social sector?" Blome formulated the central question. Laws must also be observed and enforced at the upper end in order to remain credible. At the same time, Bild also wants to hold up a mirror to Switzerland with the criminal complaint. An arrest warrant against German tax investigators who were merely doing their job is "ludicrous". Those responsible at Bild are aware that, formally speaking, Federal Councillor Simonetta Sommaruga is not the right person to contact. "We have taken her as a representative of the Swiss judiciary," said Blome.

The criminal complaint was filed by the reporter responsible for Switzerland, as in Germany only individuals can file a criminal complaint. Although Blome does not dare to predict the outcome of the criminal complaint - "I don't want to speculate here" - it will allow a legal assessment of the issue in Germany. And a follow-up story in the Bild newspaper. (SDA)

The company BZM is prepared to enable the connection to the Profond collective foundation with a considerable one-time contribution. In this way, the well-established rights of the insured and pension recipients can be safeguarded with this reorganization. Since such a step would also eliminate the high restructuring contributions currently being paid by employees, broad approval is expected. The implementation of this solution is subject to the approval of all parties concerned and the relevant bodies.

Due to underfunding, the Board of Trustees of the BZM pension funds decided in July 2011 to make restructuring contributions of 4.5 percent each from employees and employers.

Imagine the following scene: An Irish priest wants to inform about First Communion at a parents' evening. 26 parents and one child are eagerly following the PowerPoint presentation and listening to the words of the priest. Suddenly, gay porn images appear on the screen. According to the BBC, 16 of them. They are on a USB stick that the priest has connected to the computer before the presentation. The priest, by now probably snow-white or bright red in the face, reflexively pulls the stick out of the computer and leaves the room without delay.

A silly childish prank or an embarrassing mishap on the part of the godfather? The latter stubbornly claims that he doesn't know how the material got onto the memory stick. And one is inclined to believe him. Whatever the case, the timing of this mishap couldn't have been worse - the Catholic Church in Ireland has probably sunk another meter into the muck.
