Policy Statement
CCA recognizes the expenses that may incur in relocating. To assist with this, CCA may offer support by providing a designated reimbursement amount. Only expense reimbursements incurred, which include a receipt (specifying amount, how much paid, method of payment) are eligible. For mileage reimbursements, employees would need to include the origin and destination point and the distance.
Should a relocation reimbursement amount be offered to a new hire, the amount would be detailed in the offer letter. Acceptance to the position and terms of relocation reimbursement include, understanding that if the employee were to leave within a designated time from their position at CCA (voluntarily) they are subject to reimburse CCA for the used amount of their relocation expense.
Reimbursable expenses include:
- Transportation for relocation - airfare, truck rental and gas, mileage (if driving own car)
- Shipping for relocation - moving company, moving expenses, pod, cost of shipping car
- Accommodations while in transit
- Food while in transit
- Temporary storage of personal goods is reimbursable as long as it's in conjunction with the move. For example, if the employee is moving into an apartment but it won't be ready for a month, we will cover storage of belongings during that time, provided that it doesn't exceed the overall amount approved for the move. On the other hand, if the employee has to store items on an ongoing basis because the new place is small & the employee doesn't have enough room, we would not cover those costs.
Reimbursements will only be given for eligible expenses with receipts up to the specified amount. If the specified amount is not met, reimbursement would only cover the amount on the receipts.
- For mileage reimbursements, the IRS rate for moving expenses is lower than the standard mileage rate for business use of an auto. Refer to the IRS for the current rate.
- Note that reimbursements are also considered taxable income and are subject to tax withholding
