How Can Furniture Allowance Help You?
Furnishing a home—a one-time expense during an assignment—is often best handled either through providing an allowance or setting a reimbursement cap. However, companies struggle to provide this benefit fairly across locations and family sizes.
Furniture Allowance helps you:
- Reduce the administrative effort required to determine allowances or caps on your own
- Ensure consistency across locations and family sizes
- Tailor the calculation to fit your policy
- Provide flexibility to the assignee
