“Our company is considering developing a two-year rotational/developmental international assignment policy. Does your company have such a policy and, if so, are the provisions similar to an Expat Assignment or more like a Short Term Assignment? Also, is a minimum increase required to be eligible for COLA? (For example, does your company state that the overall increase in the cost of living must be at least a certain percent in order to qualify?)”

“Normally our lenders implement subsidy benefits; however we have an employee that was not able to obtain a loan with our preferred lenders and is working with a lender outside of our program that is not able to implement mortgage subsidy benefits. We'd like to subsidize his loan through payroll with a 3-2-1 mortgage subsidy. Has anyone ever handled it this way? If so, do you subsidize the mortgage payment monthly or annually? Do you have a subsidy agreement that you ask the transferee to sign that you could share?” |

Ltd. and Chairman of the Worldwide ERC® Global Advisory Council. “And although there are many issues of which we must be aware,” according to Santrupt, “at present, there are five distinct and significant areas that all of us must recognize and appreciate, wherever we are positioned on the globe.” To find out what these five areas are, read the Perceptions column in the March issue of MOBILITY magazine.
