AG & AN

This question was closed without grading. Reason: Errant question

German to English translations [PRO] Bus/Financial - Law: Contract(s) / Anlage zum Schreiben, Verfügbarkeit

German term or phrase: AG & AN Normally these abbreviations stand for "Arbeitgeber" and "Arbeitnehmer". I need to translate 2 pages of a document "Anlage zum Schreiben", subtitle "Verfügbarkeit". In my opinion, translating those terms as "employer" and "employee" doesn’t sound right. An alternative might be equipment provider and equipment user. Should "Eine Einschränkung der Verfügbarkeit der Anlage wird der AG einer im Hause des AN noch zu benennendden Stelle unverzöglich mitteilen." be translated as "One of the in-house employees must inform the employer immediately regarding the system’s limited availability.?

heidi (X) @ Michelangela 04:44 Apr 22, 2015  The sentence fragment der AG einer im Hause des AN noch zu benennendden Stelle is not a genitive construction. ...einer im Hause des AN noch zu benennendden Stelle is the dative object of the verb mitteilen. The subject of the verb is AG. Michelangela United States ASKER Does this work? 01:17 Apr 22, 2015  One of the to-be designated in-house representatives must inform the contractor immediately regarding the system’s limited availability.
