I was scouted by a company in a neighboring state (240 miles away). I have extensive experience with their type of products and they’ve scheduled a second interview. My family cannot afford to move without some type of relocation assistance. This isn’t a huge company, but they have very high revenue for their size, meaning I don’t think it would be a hardship for them. Am I in a good position to leverage for relocation assistance?

I’m one half (the words half) of a creative team. We have a couple of years experience working together in a London agency, and are both now very – very very very – keen to move to the states. We’re currently looking to make a move, whether or not we go abroad, and are getting our book together. But I’m wondering if there are any London based recruitment consultants who specialise in – or have a good track record of – creative recruitment to agencies in the US, or relocation in general? Thanks, buddies

I work at a company where the owner is asking us to reimburse relocation expenses without taxing or 1099′ing the employee. These are expenses like the deposit on someone’s apartment, the deposit on utilities, installation/startup costs of their digital cable tv, application fee for new apartment etc. These are for employees who are being relocated within the company (not new employees).
It seems like the owner wants to avoid paying the employer share of taxes or grossing up so that the employee gets their full reimbursement. He doesn’t care if its wrong but what are the consequences? Will he just get nailed during an audit since they aren’t valid business expenses? Should we put it through payroll anyway?
He also does this for things like phone allowances or home office allowances.. reimburse people for things that do not have receipts but not through payroll or 1099’s. He only wants to pay $70 and promised the employee he’d pay them $70 (doesn’t want them taxed).
I feel like its wrong to pay those expenses but what is the wrong of it? I feel for the employee who needs the $70 to pay their cell phone or the $100 to cover increases in utitlties because they were forced to work from home, but how is it a valid work expense? Its an allowance… in essence, a bonus. If there is no receipt, you can’t document it as a business expense.
If the owner wants the checks cut out of Accounts Payable (bypassing payroll) then what? They are subject to taxes but he’s insisting we do it wrong. We could 1099 the employee at the end of the year but that seems wrong/mean.
He knows this stuff is wrong but somehow doesn’t think the rules apply to him. What are the consequences?
Can he just do that? I don’t have the authority to insist things be done correctly, I’m just supposed to put them in the system the way I’m told. I’ve spoken up but the people above me can’t seem to reason with him.

My wife just left a company that paid for her relocation. She was not happy with the position and went to another company. Her contract was concerning relocation expenses, but the company has requested those expenses and the wages she was paid during the entire employment.

I am aware they don’t pay for relocation on interns or part-time, I noticed in a full time posting they said they would help with relocation.

My husband and I are planning to move out on our own but we have no idea where to start. I got this email from a Relocation Specialist and was wondering these questions,
Do I pay them to help me find an apartment?
Is it best to have a relocation specialist help me and if yes, what else can they assist me with other than help me find an apartment?
Is it always best to get a relocation specialist?

I want to relocate but I think the best most successful way to do so would be to go with a company that offers positions all over the country. How do I find out which companies offer relocation assistance? Thanks.

The price tag on relocation is very steep. The tenant we have excessively uses electricity and hot water in an aggressive attempt to raise utility fees.
This is evident because of the high amount of music he blasts in the middle of the night at maximum volume, as well as running hot water for the entire night.
