French term or phrase: Prime de sujétion
Refers to a specific allowance paid to a top manager as a compensation for having him travel around all year, and coping with all difficulties of the job in general.

As a general meaning, "sujétion" is a synonym of constraint. It refers to any bonus or allowance paid to someone as a compensation for having a difficult job.

Any suggestions for that ?

Special Allowance
Explanation:
In the company I worked for, it was also referred as "retainer".

But most of the expatriate contracts include this SPECIAL ALLOWANCE, a fixed amount that is payable to the officer without any obligation to file expense reports.

Thanks for your help. Found a more specific translation, "special allowance" being too broad.
