Bonus leave
Bonus leave (congé bonifié) is for public servants who work far from the territory where the centre of their material and moral interests lies. Since decree no. 2020-851 of 2 July 2020, it is more frequent but shorter. It cannot exceed 31 consecutive days, according to a ministerial answer published on 21 July 2026.
The school calendar
Teachers in the Réunion education authority start the school year in mid-August, one or two days before pupils. The dates until 2029 are on the Réunion school calendar page.
The move
Your personal belongings enter free of VAT and octroi de mer with a dated, signed inventory. The transfer notice or order serves as proof of settlement for customs.

In Réunion, a state civil servant’s gross salary is multiplied by 1.5363. After 4 years in your previous post, the costs of a transfer at your request are covered, with a 20% reduction. Your transfer order serves as proof of settlement for customs.
