Hi All,
We are currently creating a relocation policy for our Organization (IT Consulting). Relocation includes movement of employees from one center to the other either on deputation or permanent transfer.
We have decided that any tenure more than 6 months would be considered as a permanent relocation. This would mean that he/she would not be entitled to the daily allowances while on deputation.
What we are grappling with is, what happens when a project spills over to the seventh or eight month or a year? Do we continue giving the daily allowance, or do we stop, or do we reduce the allowance?
Please keep in mind that the resource/manager may not be responsible for the work may spill over after the sixth month.
How do we lay it down in a policy?
Can somebody help me?
Thank You.

Hi Kiran,
I think you should reconsider the tenure of over 6 months as relocation. First and foremost, identify the typical project period. Also, work on the cost comparison for deputation and relocation on an hypothetical case starting with 2 months and then decide on the tenure for relocation.
In case if you stick to six months only and later the project spills over, the project manager would be in a position to tell you atleast a couple of months before if the project will spill over. In such case also, it would be viable that you continue on deputation as it will be a matter of just a couple of months. If the deadline is extending much more, then shift it as a relocation by preparing the cost comparison again.
I hope this helps.
