German term or phrase: BG-Stunden
Can somebody tell me what "BG-Stunden" stands for?
I'm totally out of my comfort zone with all these payroll abbreviations :-(

Thanks in advance!

Explanation:
I don't know for what you actually need this, but if it is for payroll purposes or possibly a software programme then my answer is a bit too long. You would have to think of some way of abbreviating it or possibly use footnotes.
The German Social Code in Germany has one pillar that covers the risk of employee work accidents. This accident insurance is payed in whole by the employer. To calculate the premiums for this insurance, the employer is obligated to report certain data. One of these items is the amount of worked hours. See http://www.bg-metall.de/fileadmin/downloads/MBA/Neue_Meldepf...
BG = Berufsgenossenschaft. Berufsgenossenschaft seems to have more than one translation: i.e. occupational accident insurance institutions
I reckon the BG needs the worked hours for statistical purposes. The premium is calculated on a different basis. See: http://www.bg-metall.de/mitgliedschaft-und-beitrag/beitrag.h...

Hope this helps.

Reference: Stunden Berufsgenossenschaft?

Reference information:
Die Anzeige der BG-Stunden für den laufenden Monat stimmt nicht mit den tatsächlich geleisteten Arbeitsstunden überein. Nach 16 Std. Arbeit werden 200 BG-Stunden angezeigt. Anscheinend wird zu der normalen Arbeitszeit von 184 Stunden, bei 40 Std./Woche, im März die tatsächlich geleistete Arbeitszeit hinzugezählt. Habe ich irgendwo eine Markierung/Häkchen vergessen oder zuviel gemacht? Was muss ich ändern?

dieses Problem besteht - denke ich - bei allen Anwendern, da ich schon einige Beiträge dazu im Forum gesehen habe. Das Problem kann gelöst werden, in dem man den Eintrag manuell bei der Erfassung der Lohndaten bei dem Punkt "Stunden Berufsgenossenschaft" vornimmt. Die richtigen Arbeitsstunden dort eingeben und ein Häkchen in das Feld "Stunden selbst eingeben" setzen.
