Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): philgoddard

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

David Williams (asker) Jan 14, 2011:
Many thanks! Very helpful discussion :-)
Katherine Wootton Joyce Jan 12, 2011:
I don't think claims can lapse in this context - your right to make a claim may lapse if a claim is not made within ... Depending on the surrounding context, you may have to put something about claims in there as "Rights" by itself is vague. But I dont think you can say "Claims lapse if not made..."
lisa23 Jan 12, 2011:
Where is the problem?? Claims shall lapse, if not made within 3 months from the due date. In addition, claims shall lapse, although made within 3 months from the due date, but if not brought before COURT within a further period of three months. (sorry if the English is not perfect, but that is what it means)
David Williams (asker) Jan 12, 2011:
@philgoddard This is in the clause of the contract re. termination.
David Williams (asker) Jan 12, 2011:
Second draft All entitlements shall lapse if not claimed within 3 months of the date on which they are due, or if they are claimed within 3 months, but are then not legally claimed within a further 3 months thereafter.
philgoddard Jan 12, 2011:
I don't think your context is very clear. What claims/entitlements are we talking about? What is the relevance of the link? Does this text follow on from that one?

Rights/claims

If that's appropriate to context. It's not much to go on. Rights/claims to what?

German term (edited): Ansprüche

claims

IMO, it's not entitlements but claims (I assume that it refers to any (monetary) claims that the employee has against his/her employer)
Peer comment(s):
agree Jaime Hyland : it's probably about money and not about holidays, so claims is right, not entitlements. I doubt rights would fit here either.

thanks Jaime, no, rights would not fit at all
agree Horst Huber (X) : "Claims are forfeited ..."?

any claim

Any claim will become nugatory if not formally asserted within 3 months of the first opportunity; and. further, if not judicially filed within an additional 3 months.
