Transition Allowance. Employees who resign with a TSP payment will be eligible for a transition allowance up to a maximum of $2,500.00. This sum may be utilized for one or a combination of the following: • to assist in offsetting the costs in moving to accept a position with another employer, which is located a distance of 50 kilometres or more from the site of their usual workplace; and • to cover the cost of participation in employer-approved retraining programs. The Employer will not unreasonably withhold such approval. In all cases employees will require receipts for recovery of expenses. Only expenses incurred during the TSP severance payment period following the date of resignation are eligible for reimbursement under this Program.
