Job Relocation:

It’s when an employer requests an employee to move to a different area, often due to opening new offices, needing more personnel, or offering a promotion. Employers usually provide relocation packages to assist with the move.

Negotiating a Relocation Package:

Calculate your desired amount considering all anticipated expenses. Decide between reimbursement or a lump sum. Express specific needs and explain the advantages for the company. Always ask for the offer in writing and know when to reject an offer.

Relocation Package:

It may include travel expenses, home buying and selling expenses, job search assistance for your spouse, temporary housing, moving expenses, and moving help.

Relocation Preparation Tips:

Visit your new office, contact coworkers, calculate your cost of living, forward your mail, move in before you start work, track all of your moving expenses, research your state’s tax laws, and compare your salary.

International Relocation:

It differs from domestic relocation due to work visas, higher costs, shorter assignment lengths, and a bigger adjustment period due to cultural differences.
