Posted 27 May 2006 Just got my first monthly pay slip through this morning but I´m having a bit of trouble making sense of it all . Could someone please enlighten me as to what the following abbreviated financial terminology is all about? (note: I already babelfished the full words in the following but have included them to give context) - lfd. SoliZuschl - RV-AN-Anteil, lfd. Entgelt - AV-AN-Anteil, lfd. Entgelt - AG-Zuschuss KV - AG-Zuschuss PV - Abgef. Beitrag freiw. KV - Abgef. Beitrag freiw. PV - Stfr Bez - Stfr DBA - Stfr ATE Thanks alot. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 28 May 2006 - laufender Solidaritätszuschlag *current sum of supplementary tax (to finance the reunification) - Rentenversicherung-Arbeitnehmeranteil, laufendes Entgelt *pension dues, employee's share, current sum - Arbeitslosenversicherung-Arbeitnehmeranteil, laufendes Entgelt *unemployment dues, employee's share, current sum - Arbeitgeberzuschuss Krankenversicherung *employer's grant towards health insurance - Arbeitgeberzuschuss Pflegeversicherung *employer's grant towards nursing care insurance - Abgeführter Beitrag freiwillige Krankenversicherung *deducted and forwarded dues for voluntary health insurance - Abgeführter Beitrag freiwillige Pflegeversicherung *deducted and forwarded dues for voluntary nursing care insurance - Steuerfreie Bezüge *non-taxable income - Steuerfrei [gemäss] DBA (Doppelbesteuerungsabkommen) *non-taxable income according to Double Taxation Agreement - Steuerfrei [gemäss] ATE (Auslandstätigkeitserlass) *non-taxable income according to Edict on Employment Abroad That should give you an idea, I don't guarantee for precise translation of the termini technici. Rentenversicherung, Krankenversicherung, Arbeitslosenversicherung and Pflegeversicherung are mandatory, half of the dues being paid by employer and employee each; however, you may be exempt if your monthly salary is above a certain amount or you can choose voluntary health and/or nursing care insurance. The employer can pay a certain amount as a grant towards voluntary Krankenversicherung and Pflegeversicherung. As a foreigner working abroad you may be subject to double taxation or fall under the above Edict (if your home country does not have a Double Taxation Agreement with Germany) - depending on how much you earn. If anyone who knows more about the system than I do finds any major mistakes in the above explanation, fell free to correct them. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 29 Apr 2012 Hi all, great post! I have 1 question though, in my payslip, I have the Gesamt-Brutto which is my actual brutto salary, but under that there is Verdienstbescheinigung field, which is more than my actual salary and all types of the deductions applied to my salary are here also, a bit higher though. Is this the total amount my employer spends on me, including his part of the deductions (for health, social...)? Thx 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 22 May 2014 Nachverrechnung aus Vorm. = Corrections from last month Corrections from last month. This hits my paycheque about every 2nd or 3rd month and always the same amoutn. Any idea why they'd need to make corrections? I can see this happening at the end of the year but not every 2 months thanks 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 May 2014 Is this related to travel expense claims incl. daily allowances? I also have these corrections, usually small amounts (< €10). It has to do with taxable and non-taxable parts. Last year, I got a payroll slip with 8 pages incl. corrections for different months. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 May 2014 yeah that's what I thought, but the amount is 48€ which seems kind of high as the wife isn't traveling that much. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 May 2014 €24,- is the daily allowance for one day in Germany, so €48,- for 2 days. Therefore, I assume the correction has to do with daily allowances. You can also contact the salary department and just ask. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 24 May 2014 The wife figures she's doing something wrong when doing here expenses, she's going to inquire with HR, once I get an answer I'll update 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
