SusanneM Dec 9, 2009:
Planstellenbeschreibung=Planstelle+Stellenbeschr. A "Planstelle" is a position in an administrative office (or a similar organisation). It is an abstract position that can also be vacant. If the office has a "Planstelle", they also have the budget to pay a public servant in that position. The public office needs a written "Stellenbeschreibung" (position description) for each "Planstelle". This description must not refer to a particular person. For example, if a public servant retires, the "Stellenbeschreibung" remains unchanged. You may want to check the Wikipedia articles on "Planstelle" and "Stellenbeschreibung" (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planstelle_(Haushalt) and http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellenbeschreibung). There's also a graphic describing the sections of a "Stellenbeschreibung" (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Stellenbeschreibung.png). I'm still not sure what "AT" actually means, but it's probably part of the section on soft skills.

@ Steffen I think you are on the right track. I was having difficulty with the concept of "Planstellenbeschreibung" to begin with. It seems to be a cross between a performance review and a position description. "PK's AT" is the last category after Hauptaufgaben, Anforderungen, Erfahrung, IT-Kenntnisse etc.
Veronika McLaren (asker) Dec 9, 2009:
Apparently there are more or less official levels of "AT" - listed below the heading are the skills: Konfliktmanagement, Zielstrebigkeit, Strategisches Denken...

skills, work ethics

AT might stand for Arbeitstugende. Personal skills, work ethics. This presupposes a comma between the two terms.

What are work ethics?

Work ethics include not only how one feels about their job, career or vocation, but also how one does his/her job or responsibilities. This involves attitude, behavior, respect, communication, and interaction; how one gets along with others. Work ethics demonstrate many things about whom and how a person is.

Work ethics involve such characteristics as honesty and accountability. Essentially, work ethics break down to what one does or would do in a particular situation. The begging question in a situation involves what is right and acceptable, and above board, versus what is wrong, underhanded, and under the table.

Tugenden are, of course, virtues, so "ethics" is a bit of a stretch. But would anybody talk about "work virtues"? Maybe 'attitudes' is a better choice.

(individual) skills/abilities of employees outside the (scope of) the collective agreement

"Persönliche Kompetenzen" could be "individual skills and abilities". "AT" might also stand for "außertariflich(e Mitarbeiter)", i. e. salaried employees outside the scope of [not covered by] the relevant collective agreement with whom individual/separate pay agreements are entered into, but that's a very long shot as we don't have any other information. Can't you provide some more context?
