Temporary (Short Term) Domestic Assignments

| February 6, 2017

Short-term domestic work assignment With more and more companies looking for creative ways to save money, many have turned to their relocation policies for areas in which to cut costs.  One trend that has gained in popularity recently is the temporary domestic assignment (TDA).

The IRS defines a short-term assignment as one that lasts for less than one year.  This is a very important distinction because the benefits change from non-taxable or deductible to taxable at the one-year mark.

Employee Relocation – What Is Domestic Culture Shock?

| December 1, 2016

Domestic Relocation Culture Shock
Culture shock is a well-known phenomenon in global relocation. However, many companies fail to recognize and address culture shock when it happens closer to home. Employees moving North to South or East to West within the same country are actually just as likely to experience some form of culture shock as if they had moved around the world, though perhaps not to the same degree.
