anniversary date, hire date, hire anniversary, hiring anniversary, employment anniversary Explanation: Down here in Texas, we use many different terms for an employee’s anniversary. Most of the variety comes from loose morphology invented by human resources personnel, many of whom are not trained linguists (thank God). The “anniversary” is not necessarily a cause for celebration, but it has many policy and procedural implications. Here is a sample (using “hire date” and “anniversary date” in the same sentence): http://www.utulsa.edu/personnel/policies/anndate.html “An employee's anniversary date is the date he or she began employment with the university. The employee's hire date or anniversary date may be utilized for: · fringe benefit eligibility, · length of service awards, · eligibility for transfer or promotion involving employees whose qualifications are relatively equal, · salary adjustment and · establishing seniority - for vacation scheduling, reducing the workforce or making work assignments.” A sample using “Hiring Anniversary Date”: http://www.mitre.org/news/matters/02-00/mm_02-00_8.shtml “The partnership is a collaborative process under which each pilot participant will meet with his or her manager to set goals for the performance period, which begins on the employee’s hiring anniversary date.” I hope this is sufficient. Fuad common usage |

long-service bonus Explanation: This is how I have always translated this term, assuming we are talking about the sum of money paid on this occasion. Perhaps 'ten year service bonus' would be even more precise. |
