Lump-Sum Allowance Plan (LSA)
Saving costs and simplifying the relocation process are the key drivers of the Lump-Sum Allowance program.

Each report is customized to reflect the employee's family size and the company-specific policies governing these expenses, and includes detail on such costs as airfare, hotel and corporate apartment lodging, meals, car rental, child care, and pet boarding.
