Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / Payroll
Norwegian term or phrase: Fork.tr.
This is from a salary statement. "tr." probably means "trekk" - but what about "Fork."? This is for US English.

Thank you,

Explanation:
I'm guessing that forkalkyle (forhåndskalkulerte kostnadene) is what fork stands for.

Explanation:
Jeg tror det må dreie seg om "forskuddstrekk", og at forkortelsen er litt feilaktig. Det dukker rett som det er opp merkelige forkortelser på mine lønnsslipper fra Oslo kommune.

Not sure if this is the most used term in US english, but it should work.
