BEENDIGUNG DES VERTRAGSVERHÄLTNISSES
Der Austritt eines Mitarbeiters ist durch dessen Vorgesetzten an den zuständigen Antragsteller der Niederlassung/Standortes zu melden.
Dieser meldet den Austritt in der zentralen Benutzerverwaltung. Spätestens am letzten Arbeitstag müssen alle durch das Unternehmen bereitgestellte Betriebsmittel an den Vorgesetzten zurückgegeben werden.
I am puzzled as to who the Antragsteller could be in this case and how best to translate it. Is it the person requesting that an employee is dismissed from the company. "Applicant" doesn't sound right to me somehow. Any ideas?
TIA.

relevant person
The German is poorly written to start with. I'd just use a workaround solution like "relevant person" and move on from it, the specific term "Antragsteller" doesnt seem overly relevant to me. Relevant person should be good enough.
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "In the end it was a toss-up between "relevant person" and "initiator". I think both would work but "relevant person" makes it less specific. Thanks to everyone for their input."

initiator
Depends what German-speaking country this is, for instance, Austria - see the discussion entry and suggested an employer-appointed 'initiator' or the employer's representative.
'Supplicant' > Bittsteller or 'petitioner' are possiibly incongruous or the 'wrong register'.
'Supplicant' > Bittsteller or 'petitioner' are possiibly incongruous or the 'wrong register'.
Example sentence:
If certain rules are broken in the workplace, and an investigation is conducted to determine whether there are grounds for a disciplinary sanction or dismissal, an initiator must be appointed by the employer.

: Taking a translation straight from a dictionary often does not work. Depends on context and quality of the source. And "applicant supplier" wasn't even an option

German term (edited):
der zuständige Antragsteller [Angestellte]
the designated member of staff
Phil's theory (Antragsteller as typo for Angestellter) is a bit of a stretch, but either way, this version would make sense.
Alternatively senior staff manager on site (see comment in Discussion Box) or member of administrative staff responsible.
The positioning of the adjective 'responsible' before or after the noun makes a subtle difference, of course.
