After years of searching, Benoit, a single dad with 2 small children, was finally able to get off the rock in Newfoundland and return to his beloved hometown of Montreal. His new employer was very motivated to hire him and made a very generous offer of an annual salary of $180,000 and an unaccountable allowance of $20,000 to help him with the cost of moving from Newfoundland to Montreal. He started the new job in June 1, 2020.

Specifically, pursuant to selling his home in Newfoundland, he lost $70,000, of which his Montreal employer reimbursed him 50,000. Furthermore, to compensate for higher housing costs in Montreal, he was paid another reimbursement amount of $20,000.
