| + | Initial Appointee Relocation Program (IARP) – Clarifications |
| + | The IARP contains no provision or authority to delay a relocation for any reason (including telework/remote work or COVID-19). |
| | | |
| + | The appointee’s relocation must be registered with the CRSP and authorised by the department’s relocation team immediately upon acceptance of the letter of offer. |
| + | |
| + | The employee is not required under IARP to be at the new place of duty by their official start date and may be allowed to telework from their primary residence; however, the relocation must be completed within 12 months of acceptance of the letter of offer. |
| + | |
| + | There is no authority to extend the 12-month timeframe. Expenses incurred outside the 12-month period are not eligible for reimbursement. |
| + | |
| + | If the candidate chooses not to relocate, they must submit a formal written request to cancel relocation entitlements with hiring manager support, to the department’s relocation office. |
