    nach ablauf der probezeit maximal jeweils 50 % Urlaubs- und weihnachtsgeld als freiwillige leistung des unternehmens.

    My question:

    1. What does "jeweils" has to do in the sentence.

    2. is 50 % Urlaubs and 50 % for weihnachtsgeld or in total of 50 %

    can some one help me to understand the sentence well.

    "Resp." really wouldn't be used in a credible English sentence in this manner, nor would "respectively", which is usually a non-idiomatic translation of "jeweils".
    Also, although it's a very convenient feature in German, proper English does not (yet) use the hyphen to show an omitted word, as the German does with "Urlaubs- und weihnachtsgeld" nor would English treat "bonus"(or whatever word is in that position)as a singular in such cases.
    Of course, it's a bit after-the-fact, but I'd suggest something like the following (written somewhat formally, as this is likely contractual language):
    Following the conclusion of the probationary period, the company will pay a maximum of 50% each of the the vacation and Christmas bonuses as ex-gratia payments.
