Managed Cap vs Lump Sum – Key Things You Need to Consider As a mobility manager, lump sum payments might seem like the fastest and easiest method of providing your employees with the funds they need to move. However, when looking at managed cap vs lump sum, lump sum payments come with their own unique set of problems. Some of the challenges include:

• Transferees often left alone in the relocation process
• No cost controls and often budgetary overages
• Limited process or service structure
• Non-taxable benefits are lost
• Frustrated transferees mean elevated HR involvement and escalations

Fortunately, a managed cap program alleviates many of the problems associated with a lump sum. It also provides:

• The desired simplicity and predictability of a lump sum program
• Enhanced employee tax benefits, resulting in more dollars for relocation.

Let’s see the difference between a $15,000 lump sum payment and the same $15,000 from a managed cap program:
