completed more than one year of service and resettle at a
place situated at least 70 km from their last place of

What am I entitled to?

The resettlement allowance is equal to two months' basic

salary in the case of officials who are entitled to the
household allowance and resettle together with a member of
their family.

Officials who are not entitled to the household allowance and

officials who are entitled to it but do not resettle together
with a member of their family or who rejoin their family
receive a resettlement allowance equal to only one month's
basic salary.

The conditions in the previous paragraph also apply to

temporary staff who have completed at least four years of
service.

Temporary staff who have completed more than one year's

but less than four years' service receive a resettlement
allowance proportionate to their length of service,
incomplete years being disregarded (i.e. 1/4, 2/4 or 3/4 of
one or two final basic salary/ies).
