Dunno. Also dunno why I didn't find this before: http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/U/S

And thank you too!

It's short for "unserviceable". Is it just British, or is U/S US as well?

:o

23:06 Jan 9 

u/s means useless

23:03 Jan 9 

What is "u/s"? (Not a new invention for "United States"!)

23:00 Jan 9 

that source appears to be virtually u/s

You're still not really giving enough context - it would be more useful to know what comes before this than what comes after it, since it appears to be part of a list. And you refer to the employer, but this is nothing to do with employment, is it?
It doesn't matter whether you say "profit" or "profits".

18:55 Jan 9 

I have no problem with reading profit in the singular here, although profits would be more common.

18:54 Jan 9 

Hi
Does anybody have any comments on 'headquarters profit sharing'?

Why is "au bénéfice de" in the singular?

18:42 Jan 9 

Hi

The ensuing text is:
• Les Prix ci dessous sont considerés IBS Inclus / Hors IBS

1.6 Tous les montants, tarifs, prix et remboursements détaillés ci-après resteront fermes et non révisables pendant la durée du présent Contrat.

I think the Employer's head office is being referred to.

18:11 Jan 9 

I think we need a little more context all the same

18:04 Jan 9 

Logically, "participation aux frais et aux bénéfices du siège" might make more sense: share of head office/parent company costs and earnings.

18:02 Jan 9 

Wohse head office is being referred to here? the principal's or the contractor's? what does the ensuing text specify about the payment since this appears simply to be a heading?

17:34 Jan 9 

Hello,

The Principal is paying these. The document is from Algeria (oil industry services) The term is 'frais et participation....
