UG/WG


Explanation:
I would hazard a guess at holiday payment (Urlaubsgeld) and Christmas bonus (Weihnachtsgeld). Many German companies give 13 monthly salaries, the 13th split between August and November in time for the holidays.

Explanation:
I agree that KV/RV probably stand for Krankenversicherung/Rentenversicherung. In that case these Zuschüsse would be health insurance/social security contributions.
UG / WG would be Urlaubsgeld / Weihnachtsgeld, vacation pay and Christmas bonus respectively.
HTH!
