Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Accounting / payroll accounting
Dutch term or phrase: sociaal secretariaat
Another Flemish term from the payroll administration outsourcing agreement (since I seem to be on a roll here...)

From googling, I have the impression it is at least a payroll administration office/agency, but could it also extend as far as a personnel administration office/agency? And is it always an agency?

TIA

Fairly convincing, but IMO although people in the UK just might understand 'social secretariat' in this sense, elsewhere it the world it would more likely draw a blank stare. In my translation, given the context, I used 'social secretariaat' in italic with an accompanying explanatory translation.
