Each month thousands of employees move to a new community, to start a new job.
Moves often are more expensive than anticipated.
Not only is there the actual expense of moving, but also, for a home-owner, the expenses connected with selling an old home, and buying a new home. Some corporations may offer to cover some or all of the relocation costs for employees who are moving at the company's request. Larger companies usually offer a more elaborate relocation package than smaller firms. These benefits become particularly important when there is a large increase in housing costs. When interviewing for a job, ask your prospective employer whether or not it has a relocation program, and find out as much as you can about it.
