Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Benefits
OECD official staff benefits include income-tax exemption in most member countries and 30 days of annual leave. The package also covers comprehensive medical insurance for staff and dependents, with family or education allowances and expatriation or home-leave support for eligible staff. Removal or installation support and any leaving allowance depend on contract category and duty station; grade can also matter.

Staff benefits
Relocation
OECD official staff benefits include an expatriation allowance, with removal and installation allowances for eligible staff. The staff rules set eligibility by appointment circumstances, residence history, or duty station, so relocation support is not the same for every contract category. Source
Education grant
OECD lists family allowances and an education allowance for official staff. The staff rules set the eligibility and reimbursement conditions, including education-cost reimbursement subject to ceilings and the staff member's family situation. Source
Home leave / paid home travel
OECD lists home leave alongside expatriation allowance for official staff. The staff rules treat home leave as an eligibility-based leave benefit, mainly for staff serving outside their home country. Source
Pension
OECD official staff who complete 10 or more years of service are entitled to a retirement pension, while some staff leaving earlier receive a leaving allowance instead. Pension treatment is set by the applicable OECD pension-scheme rules and appointment history. Source
Health insurance
OECD lists comprehensive medical insurance for official staff, with healthcare coverage for staff members and their dependents. The same benefits section also lists paid parental leave and paid sick leave. Source
Income tax exemption
OECD states that official staff salaries are exempt from income tax in most member countries. The careers page notes that tax liability on OECD salary can still apply to certain US, Canadian or Japanese nationals. Source
