What is a Corporate Relocation Policy?
An employee relocation policy details the company’s compensation for employees’ relocation expenses, including moving, housing, transportation, immigration, and more. This financial commitment usually comes in the form of provided corporate relocation services, reimbursements, or a lump sum payment.
The relocation policy will also set standards for eligibility for various levels of corporate relocation assistance, timelines for the transition, and procedures to address any issues throughout the process.

The Importance of an Employee Relocation Policy
