allocation quotidienne; allocation journalière : Selon le Comité de terminologie française de l'Ordre des Comptables agréés du Québec, le mot «indemnité» est préférable, dans ce contexte, à «allocation», qui vise plutôt une aide pour faire face à des besoins durables, par exemple les allocations familiales ou les allocations de logement. Le mot «indemnité» pour sa part implique une idée de dédommagement ou de compensation de frais engagés. 5, record 1, French, - indemnit%C3%A9%20quotidienne
