Freiwillige soziale Leistungen bei Arbeitsjubiläen und beim Austritt von Mitarbeitern aus Altersgründen 29. März 1999
I guess it's equivalent to a golden wedding anniversary, English equivalent.
Has anyone heard of this?
Thanks a lot

Although I don't know what the freiwillige soziale Leistungen would have to do with these events.

Hermann's suggestion is also correct, though less common. "Hiring anniversaries" is another less common option.

: I think this would work too in this context, esp. "hiring anniversaries" if its for a US audience.

: you get watches for years of service, not employment anniversaries. don't see it as a particularly 'US' option.

One does in fact often receive particular benefits on/after an employment anniversary, usually silly paperweights, gift certificates or other stuff.

Arbeitsjubil�en
s.u.
This is when a staff *member* has reached a certain number of years with the company.
Although it is not clear from the context, it could be the *gold watch* (soziale Leistung) after so many years with the company at retirement.
Please see reference website.

Forget retirement, this is certainly a *prize* or Ehrenuszeichnung for holding it out for so many years with the company.

: super explanation-but if someone actually ENJOYS working for company, they would't be just holding it, would they. of course anyone who manages to hang on to a job in a firm past age 35 should get a medal of some sort.......

German term (edited):
freiwillige soziale Leistungen bei Arbeitsjubil�en
voluntary jubilee (or: long-service) benefits
see e.g. IAS 19.
These are voluntary payments made by the employer to the employee after the employee reaches a certain length of service. In Germany, they're often stipulated by collective wage agreements or other management/labour agreements (hence the "voluntary", as opposed to statutory benefits that may be required elsewhere by local law).
The employer has to recognise provisions for these benefits in the expected settlement amount.
The whole sentence should read something like: "Voluntary jubilee (or: long-service) and retirement benefits".

Hilary Davies Shelby
: I wouldn't use "voluntary jubilee" - it sounds a bit Denglish. "Long-service benefits" in your rephrased sentence would be good.

The "voluntary" goes with the benefits, rather than the jubilee. The question of whether they're voluntary or legally required plays a role in the amounts recognised as a provision, too.
