Relocation Benefits

[Setanta]

Hi,

My Irish employer has just asked me to relocate to the US office. He has said that I would get a US salary. I was wondering if anyone has a checklist of benefits I should request? Things like accomodation, relocation fee?

I especially want to hear from anyone who has gone through this and if they could specify what I could request from the company?

Thanks

Beware! - US packages don't have much in the way of benefits (pension, health insurance, company car, bonuses, etc)

However, house prices are cheaper, cars are cheaper, climate is better....

Best talk to someone in your company who has been through the process already.

Holidays are another big difference - typically 12 days per annum in large US companies. Why not ask your employer to tell you honestly what relocation packages they offer?
