Spain could approve the royal decree for a semiannual increase in the minimum wage in 2026 if it doesn’t cover inflation.

“In the draft, the ministry led by Yolanda Díaz also includes a prohibition on companies offsetting the increase in the minimum wage through bonuses or salary supplements, as this would allow them to avoid the obligation to increase the wage annually.”

That is, salary supplements derived from “the conditions under which the activity is carried out, such as night work, dangerous work, or shift work, among others,” cannot be used to offset the increase in the minimum wage.

If the decree is approved, the minimum wage must follow the principles of the European Social Charter, always remaining at 60 % of the average wage. The regulation clearly states that “the calculation of the minimum wage will be based solely on monetary remuneration, excluding wages in kind.”

The Bluesky platform will launch Blue Verification for Notable User Accounts to strengthen account security and authenticity measures.

Similar to X, the social network’s moderators will review accounts on the platform to ensure they are genuine and approve them with Blue Verification.

This measure is in addition to the existing option since 2023 to self-verify accounts for individuals and organizations.

As is well known, verification is part of everyday life in various forms on other social media platforms, ranging from paid X-gaming (replacing the legacy verification process for notable and authentic accounts) to Instagram apps for accounts representing a “well-known and highly searched person, brand, or entity” that has been featured in multiple news sources.

The goal of all platforms is to provide greater security and trust to users and prevent impersonation or the posting of fraudulent content.

The second vice president of Fedecámaras, Tiziana Polezel, stated last week that the commercial sector’s dynamics were minimal during the month of March. She noted that the first quarter was slow.

She cited the exchange rate differential as the main cause of this, adding that “movement is minimal, and this impacts the entire production chain.”

On the other hand, she highlighted the current problems facing the business sector, marked by “high tax rates that encourage informality and business closures.” As a result of high taxes that leave no room for profit, businesses are considering abandoning formality or closing.

Polesel also mentioned other reasons for this slow and stagnant context, such as deficiencies in the provision of basic public services, which lead to increased operating costs for businesses and companies, which are impossible to reflect in final products due to low demand.

The second vice president of Fedecámaras emphasized “the implementation of the Tax Harmonization Law, noting that most municipalities set their taxes at the maximum limit, without considering whether these rates are viable for taxpayers, generating unmanageable increases.”

The president of the Federation of Chambers and Associations of Commerce and Production of Venezuela (Fedecámaras), Adán Celis, reiterated the need to adjust the comprehensive monthly salary of workers to $ 200.

During his participation in the roundtable discussions between business leaders, unions, and government representatives in Nueva Esparta, the official also spoke about the importance of the country moving toward a new labor model, adapted to new times, where companies can maintain financial balance and the workforce receives better benefits.

Celis indicated that “while setting the minimum wage is the responsibility of the national executive branch,” the private sector “is promoting alternative remuneration models through direct agreements between workers and employers.”

The president of Fedecámaras emphasized that these dialogue tables also seek to “leave behind the system based on a rentier economy, a traditional model of accumulating labor liabilities that is no longer viable because it often does not translate into real benefits for workers and creates financial problems for companies.”

The arrival of artificial intelligence in people’s lives has accelerated the need to adapt different models to each reality. For this reason, countries such as Mexico, Chile and Argentina are interested in a model for the region, called LATAM GPT, which generates and processes texts in Spanish and Portuguese.

Together with other countries in Latin America, these nations are working to make a local AI model a reality, “designed specifically to meet the needs and challenges of the region”, making the most of “the capabilities and knowledge of the countries involved to develop a tool that can help solve problems and take advantage of opportunities in areas such as the economy, education, health and public management”.

Among the benefits of LATAM GPT, an improvement in the automation of processes and tasks is expected. Also, greater efficiency in decision-making; improvements in access to more accurate and up-to-date information and knowledge; and the strengthening of innovation and competitiveness in the region.

Each country participating in this initiative contributes its own strengths and experiences. Each has specific roles. For example, Mexico is in charge of leadership in the coordination and development of the project. Chile contributes experience in AI and machine learning. Argentina contributes in the collection and processing of data, and Brazil provides support in the integration of the tool with existing systems.

The Spanish government gave its approval to the draft law to reduce the working week, without affecting wages, to 37.5 hours per week.

Although the law must be introduced in March to the Congress of Deputies for voting, it is expected to come into force before the summer. Important previous steps are required before it is fully applied. In this sense, companies will have until December of this year to adapt to the new schedule.

The application of the law requires a reformulation of the control of hours, adoption of digital systems for employee registration by companies and real-time inspection methods by the Labor Inspectorate.

In case of non-compliance with the registration of hours and the reduction of the working day as specified, companies will receive a fine of 10,000 euros per worker.

Part-time contracts with an average working day equal to or greater than 37.5 hours per week, “will become full-time employment contracts from the application of the new legal working day.”

Eight hours or more spent in an office turn workers into a family. A good work environment, where the human being and his performance are valued, triggers benefits for both parties.

Work environment specialists recommend maintaining a good relationship with employees to increase productivity. But this is also positive to foster respect, commitment and increase motivation.

Some elements to consider for a good work environment are clear and permanent communication between employer and employee, a good compensation or incentive program, recognition of performance and effort, healthy interpersonal relationships, good balance between work and free time.

A space where respect, consideration and empathy exist favors the permanence of staff, avoiding mass resignations, since by feeling valued and satisfied, workers tend to show greater identification with the organization.

The company must implement internal assertive communication mechanisms, in addition to having solid security protocols. Likewise, organize activities that promote interest in corporate matters and appreciate the proposals of all work teams or departments.

Instant payments have arrived to solve the delays of traditional systems, responding to an old need of companies and consumers.

Sending money instantly is also another of the benefits of instant payout, as it speeds up payments for workers, customers, and services.

In 2023, according to the Prime Time for Real-Time 2024 report, 19.1 % of all electronic transactions were real-time payments. Estimates for between now and 2028 are for an increase of over 25 %.

This instant payment solution allows for quick access to accounts or funds, “immediate notification upon receipt of a payment, the ability for these payments to be automatically reflected in customer accounts, and the importance of receiving remittance details along with payments made.”

Immediacy is undoubtedly the value most appreciated by corporations and customers, since the release of money is executed in seconds, as well as the customer’s access to the funds.

Undoubtedly, the collection and payment departments of companies appreciate the implementation of increasingly faster mechanisms without too much bureaucracy.

TikTok continues to work on innovations that make life easier for content creators. This time it targets companies, with the future offer that they can create virtual avatars and influencers that promote their products on video or live-streaming.

From the platform they have expressed: “To reinforce this interest and provide a more complete experience that favors brands and attracts their audience, the Chinese social network is developing a new AI function that allows the creation of virtual influencers to promote articles through of videos or live broadcasts.”

TikTok is looking to create a new AI-powered tool for scripting “video ads from instructions sent by advertisers. Likewise, it would also generate a virtual influencer who would interpret the script” in the modality that the client decides.

It will be a very useful tool for TikTok Shop merchants, as it will facilitate the way they advertise their products, in addition to doing so in an automated, original and visual way.

The functionality already has its Chinese version, Douyin, which has included it for some time. Furthermore, since 2022, “several Chinese companies specialized in creating deepfake avatars that promoted products or sold them in live-streaming programs.”
