German term or phrase: Baukasse
This comes from a procedure instruction for an Austrian railway company titled "Aufnahme Betriebspersonal."

Unfortunately there is not very much context since this is a flow chart. It's also very possible this word is just Bau + Kasse translated separately.

"Aufnahmeschein>Anstellungsvertrag>Dokumente einholen und nach (Stadt) schicken>Ausbildung erforderlich?>Baukasse erforderlich?"

Thank you in advance.

agree  Paul Skidmore: given the context of hiring staff, this is a plausible suggestion. For certain jobs, employers are required to make payments into these funds. Martha should check with the client.
