Abstract

A relocation management and reporting data processing system processes reimbursement requests for employees who have been transferred. The system includes a data base for storing and retrieving information characterizing, inter alia, the transferred employee, the types of expenses which will be reimbursed, the limits of reimbursement for each expense and/or employee category, the amount spent to date in each category and mortgage data relating to the transferred employee's old and new dwellings. Set up, data entry and reporting proceeds through a series of nested menus which may be individually and directly addressed. Upon entry of a request for reimbursement, the data and expense category are verified and the expense category limit and the amount spent to date are retrieved and processed to authorize or reject the underlying reimbursement request. The system also permits an allowance to be calculated for the reimbursement of increased mortgage interest paid on the new dwelling. The allowance is calculated in accordance with predefined reimbursement policies entered into the data base.
