For the purposes of this policy there are 2 types of relocation:
1. Where PCI Pal requires a person or role to be based in a specific country/State and offers an employee a relocation package
2. Where a PCI Pal employee wishes to move to another location other than that stated in their agreement
1. Relocation
The People team will discuss arrangements for:
Costs and expenses of arrangements
Any taxation advice required
Any pre-move travel and visits
Relocation expenses
Travel expenses
These arrangements will be formalised in writing prior to any expenses being made.
Repayment of expenses
The written relocation agreement will state any repayment arrangements should an employee resign within a defined time period either before (in case of travel) or after the relocation takes place.
Employee Requested Relocation
An employee may submit an employee-requested relocation for personal or compassionate reasons. Management and the People team may approve an employee-requested relocation when:
The move will not adversely affect the organization due to taxation, Visa or any other issue defined by PCI Pal
There is no impact on the role moving from the location set out in the employment agreement (for example, the need to meet face to face with co-workers)
The employee acknowledges in writing that the relocation is employee-requested and that there is no employer assistance will be given
Any relocation requests must be submitted 3 months before the planned move date. Failure to do so may result in a decision from management being delayed. There is no guarantee that the request will be approved therefore employees are advised not to make any formal arrangements prior to a decision being made.
