REIMBURSEMENT OF VISA AND OTHER TRAVEL RELATED EXPENSES The Employee will be responsible for his/her visa related expenses at the moment and submit payment proof for the purpose of reimbursement. All expenses made by the Employee will be fully reimbursed on arrival. The Company will provide Relocation Allowance/Reimbursement Application Forms for the Employee to complete and return to our Accounts Department for approval. Once approved, the Company will authorize her Bank to transfer funds to any Bank Account designated by the Employee. For no reason should the Employee request that the Company should take care of such expenses as such requests will certainly be turned down. This is sequel to the Company's past experiences with some fraudulent applicants from Africa where the Company took responsibilities of all their visa/Immigration expenses, paid them their relocation allowances and till date, none of these applicants showed up. The contact numbers and emails they submitted are out of use at this time, we are currently battling this case with their various Embassies here in London at the London City Crown Court. For this reason, the Company revised her International Recruitment Policies which entails that all foreign applicants MUST bear all immigration costs and on arrival, present proof of expenses incurred or payments made and will be reimbursed accordingly. Any Employee who finds this unbearable should forfeit this opportunity immediately. 10.0: SECRECY CLAUSE: You shall not part with any of the company’s information to any outside person or organization.
