The Clock Keeps Running on Employee Relocation Services

and So Does the Uncertainty

Relocation budgets are hard to plan when every move is billed by the hour. One slow move or a long drive, and the cost per employee goes over what was approved.

Wall clockThat's a lot of uncertainty for an HR budget.

Red Cat does it differently.

We agree on the price before each move, so every relocation fits the budget.

Hourly vs. Flat Rate

Why Let the Clock Decide What You Pay?

Relocating an employee on an hourly contract means the company never knows the final cost until the truck is empty. A flat rate per move makes relocation budgets exact.

Grand total$2889.26

Jordan L. was transferring from the Baltimore office to the DC office, and HR had agreed to pay for the move, as long as it stayed inside the relocation allowance.

  • The challenge

    An allowance, not an open tab

    HR approved a number, not an hourly rate.

    Relocation allowance
    Fixed
    Who pays
    The company
    Who books
    The employee

    The company's relocation policy sets an allowance per move. HR would pay the mover directly, but only a price approved in advance. An hourly rate with a range could not be approved. Jordan had to find a mover whose number would hold.

  • The challenge

    Start date in nine days

    The new job began two days after the keys.

    Notice
    9 days
    Move day
    Saturday
    First day at work
    Monday

    The transfer came with nine days' notice. The Silver Spring lease started on a Saturday, two days before the first day at the new office, so the move had to land that Saturday with both HR's approval and the landlord's keys in hand.

  • The challenge

    A full house and a garage

    Two bedrooms, an office, five appliances.

    Items
    190
    Major appliances

    Taken apart
    9 pieces

    A two-bedroom house with a home office and a full garage: 190 items and 10579 pounds. A king bed, a double bed, two dining tables and a metal shelving unit had to come apart. Five major appliances were coming along, the washer, the dryer, a refrigerator, an upright freezer and a wine refrigerator, plus a 420-pound tool chest and a work bench from the garage.

    Parking
    Private, both ends

    Both houses had private parking, but in Catonsville the truck could get no closer than 76 to 150 feet from the door, and in Silver Spring 20 to 75 feet. Every one of the 190 items made both carries. The estimate listed them, so they were in the flat rate HR approved, not extra time on move day.

    Jordan walked the house on a video call the evening the transfer was confirmed, room by room and through the garage. The flat rate, $2889.26, went to Jordan and to HR that night with the full inventory attached, so HR could approve a line it could read. Jordan e-signed the inventory, HR e-signed the price, and nobody paid a deposit.

    Jordan collected the keys on Saturday morning, and the truck was loading in Catonsville by 9:30. The garage went on last, so it came off first in Silver Spring. By 4:30 both beds and both dining tables were back together and every room had its furniture.
