U.S. Real Estate & Rental Market Update

Laminate Flooring Update
Cheaper than hardwood and other higher-end wood products, laminate flooring has long been popular with builders. But a recent report alleges that certain types of laminate flooring contain potentially harmful levels of formaldehyde, which is often mixed with the adhesives used to bind laminate floor board particles, and were incorrectly labeled as being compliant with California Air Resources Board standards. In particular, these reports cite laminate flooring distributed by Lumber Liquidators.
As this is a new development, and information is still being processed as we go to press, we do not currently recommend any additional testing or measures to our clients. We will continue to research this topic vigilantly, and I am happy to answer any questions you might have at [email protected].

Global View: A Perspective on Housing Norms
InLauraLevenson,Director
ConsultingServicesGlobalPractice
my day-to-day work with clients andothermultinationalcompanies, I’moftenaskedhowtobalancecost savingswiththeadditionaladministrative burden created by enforcing certain program provisions based on a case-by-case analysis.
Let’staketheapplicationofahousingnormasan example.Ahousingnormisadifferentialthatis applied when a company provides an allowance for housing in the host country, but also deducts aspecificamountdeemedtobereasonableandcustomaryexpensesoflivingaccommodations.Itisassumedthatapersonhastheexpenseofshelternomatterwheretheylive;hence,theterm“norm”isusedtodescribethedeductiontakenfromthehousing allowance.
Bythesamereasoning,theexpensesofthehomecountryhousingtypically disappear when a person goes on assignment, because he or she will either sell or rent out their home, or the company will assume coverage of mortgage and other home country costs.
Butwhatifanemployeeisunabletosellorrenthisorherhomeand/or the company doesn’t cover the costs of managing the home country property? When does it make sense to have a housing norm as part of a global assignment policy and when is it simply not worth the administrativeefforttoimplement?
BasedonourownbenchmarksurveyofselectclientsaswellassurveysconductedbyKPMGandMercer,althoughhousingnormsarepartoftheglobalassignmentpolicy,40-60%ofcompaniesneverdeductahousingnorm for the following reasons:
Thehomecan’tberented(Co-opandcondoregulations)
Thepropertycan’tbesold(marketconditionsorproperty conditions)
Familymembersstillliveinthehouseparttime(collegestudents, elderlyparents)
The assignee has resided at home and has no home housing costs
Forsomecompanies,itmaybeworthimplementingthehousingnorm,evenifitonlyappliesfor20%ofallglobalassignments.Oneofourclients,servingatotalpopulationoflessthan50assignees,appliedthenormin18%ofallcasesandachievedcostsavingsofapproximately$150,000.
Thisclientdecidedthattakingthetimetoanalyzeeachsituationonacase-by-case basis was a worthwhile investment to capture savings. For others,theadministrativeburdenmayoutweighthefinancialbenefit.Thebestpracticetodeterminewhat’srightforyourcompanyistotrackitforayear,monitoringboththesavingsrealizedbyapplyingthenormas well as the number of waived instances as a percentage of the total population.
Mostlikely,basedonthestatisticssharedhereandWeichert’sanecdotalexperience, a high number of cases will be waived. In this case, I recom-mendthefollowingbestpracticestooffsetthecostofwaivingthehous-ing norm for assignees retaining their home country residence:
Employ a universal standard when establishing a set of guidelines to determinewhetheranassigneequalifiesforawaiver
Track all costs associated with waiving the norm, including tax gross up
Considerationforcertainconditionsshouldinclude:
College age dependents and/or elderly family members residing in the home
Propertiesineligibletosubletorrentduetomarketconditionsor regulationsontheproperty(co-opsandcondominiums)
Assigneeswhoneedtoretainahomeresidenceforimmigration and tax reasons
Whenawaiverisapplied,toeffectivelymanagecosts:
Reduce or eliminate household goods shipments
Reduce or eliminate the amount of goods allowed in storage
Eliminate property management services Eliminatehotel,car,andCOLAreimbursementsduringhomeleave
Most companies use standard external data to determine the appropriate amount to apply as the housing norm, and tend to waive the norm only when the assignee’s home country residence cannot be sold or rented dur-ingthedurationoftheassignment.Todeterminewhat’sbestforyourcom-pany, be sure to consider a variety of factors and apply clear and concise guidelinessothatthepolicycanbeadministeredconsistently,equitablyandwithaminimumnumberofexceptions.
of companies cite the “Talent Shortage” as the most critical external factor driving the need for greater workforce agility.
