Why Cafeteria Relocation Benefits Are Making a Comeback

| November 20, 2011

Part 2: Cafeteria Relocation Benefits – Cost Savings

The Potential for Relocation Cost Savings

As we mentioned in the prior blog, a desire for flexibility is the most common reason for companies to embrace a cafeteria approach. However, the potential for cost containment can be another powerful motivator.

In a typical relocation program, companies might be providing “one-size-fits-all” benefits that employees neither want nor use. In a cafeteria program or a hybrid tiered/cafeteria program, benefits tend to be better aligned with actual needs, frequently with a cap on the total benefit amount. According to the Worldwide ERC® survey, Relocation Assistance: Transferred Employees, 45 percent of companies using a cafeteria approach place a ceiling on the value of the selections made. That figure has increased from 39 percent in 2004; the ceiling typically depends on the job level of the employee.

For companies more focused on cost containment, cafeteria menu items often are tied to the core home selling and home finding processes, with limited “soft service” options. An example would be a self-move package for a new hire.

Who Selects the Benefits?

A cafeteria approach does not necessarily mean that the transferee has the deciding vote. In fact, the Worldwide ERC survey, Relocation Assistance: Transferred Employees reports that in 84 percent of organizations with cafeteria plans, the business unit or division selects the specific benefits. This helps balance the employee’s wishes with the competitive environment and allows the company to tailor benefits to attract the best candidates for the position.

Dealing With Short Sales, Part 2: Navigating the Short Sale Process

| August 5, 2011

Navigating the Short Sale Process With TRC

TRC Global Mobility has worked with many companies and organizations to facilitate short sales. If a short sale is indicated, a transferee whose company is working with TRC should follow this process:

1. Contact the lender. The transferee must identify and reach the person who is responsible for handling short sales and who has the authority to make decisions regarding short sales. The transferee should try to determine whether the deficit will be forgiven by the lender. This part of the process can be time-consuming.

2. Submit a letter of authorization to the lender. To permit the lender to disclose personal information, the transferee must submit a letter with his or her name, the date, the property address, the loan reference number and the real estate agent’s name and contact information. This letter should introduce TRC Global Mobility as the third-party relocation company that will provide the transferee with a guaranteed buyout offer. The letter should give the lender permission to talk with interested parties about the sale of the home. Read More
