Whether you are relocating to a new city, state, or country, it is one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences. It takes a lot of courage and work to uproot yourself from the existing set-up, known people, friends, and family. While it gives you a fresh start, salary hike, or a job that satisfies you, it can be daunting too. Let us help you become a relocation expert.

 

So, if you are committed to moving somewhere that is no longer your hometown, there are a few things that you should consider. However, if you follow the WHR Group four easy steps for job relocating, you will make the entire process a success. But before we divulge these four steps, let’s investigate some figures about job relocation.

 

关于工作调动的统计数字 

一项对1000名受访者进行的关于工作搬迁的调查显示,以下是调查的结果。

  • 3%的人为了更高薪的工作或提升自己的事业而搬迁
  • 5%的人寻求转移,以拥有一个家庭
  • 1%在现有的公司内转移到不同的地方
  • 2%的人报告了搬家的各种原因
  • 7%的人搬迁是因为企业或公司搬到了一个新的地方
  • 2%因公司收购而搬迁

According to Business News Daily a company is likely to spend between $21,3127 and $24,913 on you for a relocation. This can go higher for homeowners between $61,622 and $79,429. 

While both the figures are significant, as an employee you have earned these expenses. So, whether you are job relocating as a newly hired employee or an existing one, the process needs to be handled carefully. If anything goes wrong, you will not only end up paying more, but your employer might refuse to bear the extra cost. The best way to combat this hassle is for your company to hire a professional employee relocation company like WHR Group, Inc. (WHR), and outsource the whole process.

Four Easy Steps To Become Job Relocation Expert

It is exciting to get a promotion or a new position in a new city, state, or country. But making a move can be quite a hassle, mainly if your employer has set an aggressive deadline. While there is no such timeline as to how much time a company will give you to relocate, according to an HR service company, AB Personnel Services, typically, the time is between 2 and 4 weeks. So, how to move within these few weeks efficiently? The simple answer is you need a plan of action, and or the help of a professional relocation program service. Follow these four simple steps.

第1步:建立一个预算 

搬迁到一个新地方的主要压力之一是物流和随之而来的费用。对付它的最好办法是开始列出潜在的费用,并做一个预算。在这个清单中,你应该包括以下内容。

  • House hunting in the new place, consider BVO vs. GBO potentially
  • 租约终止或出售现有房屋
  • 新房子的保证金或首付款
  • 公用事业、有线电视、互联网等的关闭和设置费用。
  • 新的家具和新的器皿费用
  • 可能修复或升级新房的费用
  • 搬家费用

Even a rough estimate will help you in understanding the upfront cost of relocating. However, if you find doing it by yourself hard since doing all the research can be time-consuming, find a professional like WHR Group who will help you with the budget and other logistics of moving.

第2步:研究长期开支 

After you have finished with your initial budgeting, it’s time for you to dig into a bit more details about the new place. First, you must review the cost of living in that place and the taxes. Investigate a COLA for your move.

Cost of Living:  Even if you are getting a job relocation package for moving, you must weigh in on the cost of living in the new city. There will be a substantial change in the living cost even if you move to a similar size city. You can hire a professional who can give you a cost of living estimate in the new place.

Taxes:  One of the biggest botherations is the requirement to file partial-year tax in both the places, i.e., the place you lived and the place you relocated. This can be quite a challenge when there is a different income tax rate, policy, and regulation. Consult with a professional to know how much you must set aside for taxes while relocating.

第3步:要求搬迁援助 

Generally, an employer will provide you with relocation assistance. However, in case you are not aware of it, ask for help and do not be afraid of negotiating. The best way to negotiate with the employer is to be ready with the details like moving costs. Get quotations from professional movers for household goods, transport expenses, storage, and temporary housing. Getting this information and presenting it to your employer can be crucial in getting relocation support.

你也可以询问该企业使用的首选搬迁公司。有时,搬迁费用的报销可能取决于使用该公司首选的专业人员。

Step 4: Know the Relocation Benefits Available To You

许多组织向其员工提供员工搬迁服务。了解你能得到什么。有时你可以报销你的找房旅行费用,获得寻找租房的帮助,甚至为你的配偶获得职业帮助。

另一个被许多人忽视的好处是在搬迁的情况下可以报销部分所得税。虽然对谁能得到报销有规定和规范,但了解它并利用它是相当有益的。
