DEÜV

Abbreviation for Datenerfassungs- und -übermittlungsverordnung

In short and in plain language

The DEÜV is a German rule on reports to social insurance.

It says which data an employer reports about the staff.

It also says when and in which form this happens. One example is when a new person starts work.

Definition
The DEÜV is the German Data Recording and Transmission Ordinance, which governs employers' notifications to social insurance. It sets out which employee data are reported, in which form and on which occasions, for example when employment begins. For businesses it matters for payroll and whenever a new employee joins.
