Employees who are laid off or the dependents of a deceased employee are also eligible to receive this allowance. Note that the language of the agreement would not cover employees who were terminated by the employer. This subsidy is referred to as Ultimate Removal Assistance. The total assistance will be calculated from the employee's community to the point of recruitment and to the actual new domicile. In the case of the dependents of deceased employees the cost of shipping the body is in addition to the entitlement.
Some occupations require lengthy and extensive travelling.
Employees may also be temporarily assigned to work in a distant geographic location. Considering that such arrangements can be very taxing on family life, contract clauses are sometimes negotiated to provide return travel, on a regular basis, to allow employees to spend time with their friends and relatives. This will also apply to employees living south of the 53rd parallel temporarily assigned to a location north of the 53rd parallel. Family members may also be unable to relocate immediately when an employee is assigned to a position in another locality. This could be due to a spouse s employment commitments or the schooling arrangements of children.
