Relocation of employees is a common task for HR departments, but it can also raise some difficult issues. Some new model documents on relocation [subscription required] have been added to XpertHR’s resources on this subject to help employers.
They cover two of the most confusing issues. The financial implications of relocation are dealt with in our new model policy on relocation assistance [subscription required]. The policy covers eligibility, taxation, buying and selling property, moving to and from rented accommodation, travel expenses, temporary accommodation and repayment of expenses on early termination of employment.
Meanwhile, our letter informing an employee of the possibility that the employer is going to relocate its premises [subscription required] and letter informing an employee that the employer is to relocate its premises [subscription required] include guidance on the implications in relation to redundancy on the relocation of business premises.
The letters are designed to complement our existing guidance on how to handle relocation of business premises [subscription required]. This is an area that has also been covered recently in our topic of the week series [subscription required].
