Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / From the minutes of a Work Council meeting, regarding HR issues
French term or phrase: Le devis du goûter des enfants de noël 2005
The phrase is part of the minutes of a Works Council meeting (for a software company) and points raised deal with HR related issues, ie. Christmas bonuses and benefits packages.

As given in the context ( "C-33, C-34" just refers to the issue raised):

C-33 Couverture sociale complémentaire : la direction fournit le récapitulatif des prestations offertes pour la mutuelle ainsi que la prévoyance et rappelle que ce régime est obligatoire pour tous salariés sous contrat de plus de trois mois.

C-34 Chaque salariés aura un chèque cadeau pour noël. Chacun de ses ayant droit de moins de 14 ans s'en verra aussi attribué un. Le devis du goûter des enfants de noël 2005 n'a pas été fourni, voire à la prochaine réunion.

No more relevant context to give - entire document is only a few hundred words long.

neutral  writeaway: isn't a 'devis' an estimate of the costs, not the actual invoice? /too early? c'est quoi ça, too early? enjoy-but no Happy New Year-on Proz it's considered potentially offensive!! (enough to drive many people to drink-I'm starting now...) :-P

  -> You are RIGHT, I'm afraid I started with "l'apéro" a bit too early... Cheers!
neutral  df49f (X): ben non, c'est pas la facture, juste le devis! boire ou traduire, faut choisir!! cheers! bonne année! df :)
