WinterbeschV

Abbreviation for Winterbeschäftigungs-Verordnung

In short and in plain language

The WinterbeschV is a German rule about work in winter.

It covers extra money for workers when work stops in winter.

To pay for it, a small part of wages goes into a fund. The rule says how big that part is for landscaping firms.

Definition
The WinterbeschV is the German winter employment ordinance. It governs supplementary benefits to the seasonal short-time allowance and the levy that pays for them. For landscaping businesses, it sets the share of the gross pay of manual workers that is due as a levy.
