Retired and pre-retired employees are also entitled to a payment to the vacation allowance, which is called 14^th month allowance.

There are two kinds of 14^th month allowance, equivalent to the kind of pension these employees receive (pension advance or complement payment):

• Advance payment of the 14^th month allowance
• Complement payment of the 14^th month allowance

This allowance is paid only once per year and uses only the fixed component of the remuneration as basis for calculating its amount.

Pre-retired employees can be either employees with reduced activities or employees are not active anymore. In case of reduced activities, the 14^th month allowance is processed similarly to the vacation allowance of an active employee. If the employee is not active anymore, the allowance is processed similarly to that of a retired employee.
