English term

No Compliment Pay

English to French Social Sciences Medical: Health Care specific benefits per country for different types of paid leaves
This is my sentence:
BRA_Long Term Sickness (No Compliment Pay)

I have a long list of types of "leaves and pays" for a list of countries (abbreviated at the beginning of each segment).

So, I understand it is "Maladie de longue durée" but the "compliment" part is what I do not understand. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

That makes sense but it would also mean that the original term is in Brazilian Portuguese.

So you need to look at / or even better have a first hand knowledge of the Brazilian system.

country : Brazil If I understood this well, the country code is at the beginning of the sentence: BRA, so we are talking about Brazil here.
Daryo Aug 3, 2020:
for all we know this "compliment pay" may not be a typo at all, but some kind of bonus (given as acknowledgment for past good work) added to the sick pay.

Without any specific context being given - like to start with the country - all guesses are more or less equality plausible.

OTOH, I don't think that "blind guesses" are a recommended method for translating anything ...

"Compliment" for "complement" is an extremely common mistake in English.
Daryo Aug 2, 2020:
How about telling WHICH country has this element in their system of salaries?

That just might cut unnecessary / unreliable guessing ...

You can't always guess the fine points of some specific system just from the general meaning of words used.

No complementary pay sans rémunération complémentaire. Typo?

complementary pay(ment) ? Ce serait une possibilité compte tenu du domaine et de la qualité médiocre de votre texte (cf. votre autre question: https://www.proz.com/kudoz/english-to-french/medical-health-...
Chloé THIRION Aug 2, 2020:
"Compliment" It seems to be the equivalent of "full amount" or "total", but I might say I've only found the term in old English (17th century !). Here is the link: https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=compliment

sans complément de salaire

Bonjour,

BRA_Maladie de longue durée (sans complément de salaire)

Dans le domaine des RH, "compliment" est relié à une indemnité (ou pas) de salaire.
Des explications en cas de prise en charge (ou pas) de maladie longue durée sont données sur le site : https://gateleyplc.com/insight/quick-reads/reviewing-your-lo...

Ou sur le site linguee.fr, les différentes traductions sont notées en passant par flatterie, compliment, salaire et rémunération :)
