Human Resources
employee transfer contract
This is an agreement for transfer of employees from one company to another, as part of a service agreement.
The text reads as follows:
"La empresa XXX asume los gastos del Seguro de salud, así como de sus agregados familiares."
I'm inclined to read this as "dependents" or "family group", but the grammar doesn't really work, unless there's an error in the original. So I wonder if it might not be "additional/added family benefits".
Is anyone familiar with the term? Thanks a lot in advance!

dependents
I'm pretty sure this is what it is referring to here...
The company shall cover health insurance costs for the employee and his/her dependents.

obviously the original has to be re-worded in some way...there would be several ways to do it...but this is the idea...

you could even say 'dependent family members'...

: exacto, lo que está mal es la redacción en español, falta: "del seguro de salud *del empleado*, así como...". Así dice que la cía asume los gastos del seguro y de la familia... (¡eso estaría bueno!) :)
