Bus/Financial - Human Resources / Salary Statement

French term or phrase: Dat. Anc.

At the top of this pay statement are columns stating:

COMPTE INDIVIDUEL 2012 ***
TOTAUX PAR TRJMESTRE/AN
ENTRE LE : [Date]
PARTI LE :
NE LE: [Date]
DAT. ANC.: [another Date in 2008]
MARIÉ(E)
HOMME
PERSONNES A CHARGE Conj. Enf. Autres
VALIDES 1 2 0
HANDICAPEES 0 0 0

I assume that DAT. refers to the date, but I can't see what the ANC bit refers to. The date is in 2008, could it be the date of beginning employment? It is obviously an abbreviated word, but beyond that I have no idea.

can be translated in English as "seniority".
So as you say it is from the beginning of employment.

P.S. You say "another date in 2008" but I can't see where the first reference to 2008 is. Presumably not for the date of birth!

For compactness you could always abbreviate 'Seniority'.
