Frequently asked questions

Is a change in work location the same as a transfer?+

Not exactly. A work location change usually stays within the same city; a transfer often means moving to another city or unit.

Can employees claim relocation allowance?+

Not normally for a same-city move. Some employers offer conveyance support during the transition.

Does the address change affect professional tax?+

Only if the new location is in a different state. Same-city moves do not change professional tax.
