Is it important to read and understand the NJC Relocation Directive prior to commencing a relocation?
A1. YES – relocating employees are responsible for ensuring that they understand their entitlements and obligations under the Directive. Lack of understanding is not a reasonable excuse for failure to properly apply the Directive. Q2a. What is the significance of the change to the definition of “dependant”? A2a. The definition now includes a person who does not live with the relocating employee but for whose care and support the employee is formally responsible. A formal declaration of this responsibility is required and may take the form of a signed statement or affidavit by the employee or a legal document such as power of attorney, custody order, Canada Revenue Agency recognition, etc. This change recognizes changing family demographics and responsibilities. Q2b. In the funding overview table contained in Part VI of the Directive, you refer to “other dependants”? Are they different from the list found in the Definitions section? A2b. No, “dependants” simply refers to the dependants
