German term or phrase: Schwerbehindertenberichtswesen
Context:
Schwerbehindertenabgabe und -berichtswesen

Part of a job description for a position in HR in a job description for a position in HR in a large international industrial/manufacturing company. has the subheading "Schwerbehindertenabgabe und -berichtswesen". Any idea what a Schwerbehindertenberichtswesen would be, if indeed I'm interpreting the hyphenation correctly here (which I'm not 100% sure about)?

Explanation:
See http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ausgleichsabgabe for a description of what the Schwerbehindertenabgabe (or Ausgleichsabgabe; equalisation/compensatory fee/levy) is about. Berichtswesen is simply equivalent to reporting (or reporting system or reporting responsibilities, depending on further context).

equalization levy and reporting


Explanation:
1.
Die Ausgleichsabgabe, auch als Schwerbehindertenabgabe bezeichnet, ist eine Abgabe in Deutschland, die zu entrichten ist, wenn ein Betrieb nicht die im SGB IX gesetzlich vorgeschriebene Zahl von Schwerbehinderten beschäftigt.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ausgleichsabgabe


2.
Siemens Wörterbuch Personal- und Bildungswesen:
Ausgleichsabgabe = equalization levy


3.
equalization levy

Payroll Accounting (PY)
Equalization levies are fixed amounts per month which are paid by both private and public employers for each work center which should be (but is not) taken by a severely challenged employee or a person on a par with a severely challenged employee.

Employers pay equalization levies on a yearly basis to the main social welfare office in whose jurisdiction they are located.

4.
Siemens Wörterbuch Personal- und Bildungswesen:
Berichtswesen = reporting


My suggestion, based on the above references, would therefore be something along the lines of:

"equalization levy and reporting",

but I have not yet managed to validate this in "real life"!

In Germany, employers have the legal duty to employ a certain share of disabled people and have to pay a fee (“Ausgleichsabgabe”) if they fail to do it. Enterprises with more than 20 employees have to employ 5 % severely disabled people.
http://pdf.mutual-learning-employment.net/pdf/spain03/GER-Sc...

Obligation to employ severely disabled persons in all enterprises with at least 20 employees as a 5% quota of the staff.

Monthly Compensation contribution (Ausgleichsabgabe) for each reserved job that is unfilled.
