@Julia Thanks for the very interesting links!

The concept of annualis/zed hours wasn't something I had heard about before, to be honest, but makes a ton of sense in certain industries.

What didn't occur to me at first either is that you might as well forget about the abbreviations in this case and just call it "overtime pay," since a payout can only occur if you worked more hours than agreed to--regardless of what account they come from.

PS2 The second half of this household has an Arbeitszeitkonto; but that is used to record both "minus hours" and "plus hours." An Ansparkonto, on the other hand, is *only* intended for recording "plus hours":
"Für außertarifliche Mitarbeiter/-innen mit Vertrauensarbeitszeit stellt das Unternehmen jährlich 50 Stunden in das Lebensarbeitszeitkonto ein. Zudem ist die Einzahlung von Entgeltbestandteilen möglich. Es handelt sich um ein Ansparkonto, also ohne Minusbereich, das in Geld geführt wird."

While not a document covering only the construction industry, it states quite clearly that an ASK can only be, say, in the black.

PS While I don't necessarily disagree with "working time account" and the like, it's pretty long. Is there nothing shorter? You don't have unlimited space on forms like this.

Had to work my way through a lof of timesheet stuff at the end of last year, but nothing similar to what we have here popped up anywhere (just flextime etc.)

"Für die Wintersaison, in der Aufträge wegbrechen, kann der Arbeitgeber vorsorgen, indem er vom Arbeitnehmer das Vor- bzw. Nacharbeiten von Überstunden auf dem Bau fordert. Hierfür wird idealerweise eine Flexibilisierung der Arbeitszeit zwischen dem Arbeitgeber und dem Arbeitnehmer vereinbart. Der Lohn, der für die Überstunden auf dem Bau anfällt, wird vom Arbeitgeber schlussendlich auf einem Ansparkonto gutgeschrieben."

Not entirely sure you need a different term for this; some seem to say that it's the same as an AZK, but I feel I have to disagree with Susan here (don't do this often) because "Arbeitsstundenkonto" is still wrong and no reference was provided.

ASK I assume we're talking about a construction-related doc; only thing that makes sense to me. See:
https://www.lohnexperte.de/files/content/pdf/BAU_Lohnschein....

On page 2, it says "Zu-/Abgang ASK" and further below "Ansparkonto."

For reference:
"Nach dem Bundesrahmentarifvertrag für das Baugewerbe (BRTV) führt der Arbeitgeber für die gewerblichen Arbeitnehmer ein individuelles Ausgleichskonto. Er kann in einem Zeitraum von 12 Kalendermonaten 150 Arbeitsstunden vor- und 30 Arbeitsstunden nacharbeiten lassen. Soweit eine solche Arbeitszeitflexibilisierung nicht vereinbart wurde, kann der Arbeitgeber 30 Stunden vorarbeiten lassen und den Lohn einem Ansparkonto gutschreiben. Die 30 Stunden dienen als Ausgleich der ersten Ausfallstunden wegen schlechter Witterung während des Schlechtwetterzeitraums."
https://www.haufe.de/personal/haufe-personal-office-platin/b...

"Eine weitere Herausforderung der Baulohnabrechnung liegt bei den Überstunden auf dem Bau. So lässt sich der Lohn auf einem sogenannten Ansparkonto sammeln und in den Herbst- sowie Wintermonaten nutzen."

German term (edited): ASK (Ansparkonto)

annualised hours account

Just an idea. See Björn's notes in the Discussion box. Sounds like an Ansparkonto is a specific kind of flexitime account. The closest term I've found is "annualised hours" (UK). Worth a read of the linked doc from the Unite union to see if this a good match/a fit for your context.

hours paid out ('drawn down') Roster timesheet/actual hours worked a/c

- if this Germany: not at all clear from the question. Such a differentiation would be questionable in other German-speaking countries.

Otherwise, refer to the Discussion Entries for 'clarification' / obfuscation.

AZK (Arbeitszeitkonto) / ASK = Arbeitsstundenkonto, as per Susan S. as pictured.
Example sentence:

Timesheet data is overlaid roster data so a comparison can be made between roster and timesheet.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Björn Vrooman : No need for insults. And while we're on the topic of obfuscation, neither of your refs even includes the abbreviation Manuela was asking for. You could've also used something much shorter, like overtime pay, which is essentially what this is all about.

Synonomous with AZK (Arbeitszeitkonto)
Peer comments on this reference comment:

agree philgoddard : Arbeitsstundenkonto doesn't get many hits, but I think this must be it. Working time account http://www2.proz.com/kudoz/german-to-english/business-commer...

agree Julia Burgess : For AZK

neutral Björn Vrooman : I know German can get repetitive at times, but "Stunden" + ASK and AZK is a bit much. I'm 95% sure this is about something else. See d-box (soon).

Interesting, looks like your research was fruitful. So apparently the two terms aren't synonyms, good clarification!
agree Adrian MM. : though not synonymous in Germany we are expected to guess that the source text originates in : https://www.kununu.com/de/sitegeist-neos-solutions/kommentar... + https://www.mgvo.de/prog/doku_pdf.php ASK mit allen in dem Jahr geleisteten Stunden vs Soll-Zeit
