relocation allowance?

My comment:

On parle souvent de prime d'installation ou de prime de chauffage. Je suppose que c'est un arrangement avec l'employé, afin peut-être de tromper le fisc

heating [not necessarily the answer: see below]

My comment:

Confort domestique almost always refers to heating.
It can also be used when referring to heating-related things such as double glazing and roof insulation.
I'm surprised you've seen this on a bulletin de paie. It doesn't appear on any of the model "bulletins de paie" I've looked at, including my own.

That's what it sounds like, but I've never seen it on a payslip. It would more likely appear on a déclaration fiscale, surely? Some kind of home insulation allowance. You can deduct some approved home improvements from your tax bill in France.
