## Prompt

```text
Help me design a support package for employees who relocate or go on international assignments.

**Move types:** [e.g. domestic relocation, long-term assignment (1-3 years), short-term assignment, permanent international transfer]
**Home and host countries:** [LIST]
**Typical employees:** [level, family situations]
**Current support:** [what we offer today, if anything]
**Budget constraints and company size:** [DETAILS]

Cover:
1. **Support options** - immigration and visas, moving and temporary housing, home-finding, cost-of-living or hardship allowances, tax preparation and equalization, home leave, spouse/partner career support, schooling, language and cross-cultural training, emergency and medical support, duty-of-care and security, and repatriation.
2. **What happens if we don't provide each one** - split into legal and compliance (immigration status, payroll and social security obligations, permanent establishment risk, duty of care), financial (tax exposure, failed assignments, early returns), and people risks (stress, family breakdown, attrition after return).
3. **Recommended tiers** - core support for everyone vs. support by move type or level, in a table: Benefit | Domestic | Short-term | Long-term | Permanent transfer.
4. **Policy essentials** - eligibility, repayment clauses, approval process, and who owns each step (HR, payroll, tax adviser, relocation vendor).
5. **Fairness check** - consistency across employees, and how to handle exceptions.

This is general information. Tax, immigration, and employment rules vary by country - mark points that need specialist advice with [VERIFY WITH ADVISER] and do not state specific rates or thresholds unless I provide them.
