Hello - My company wants to relocate me to Dubai from USA and I was wondering about cost of living and whats included in an employment package. I am married with 4 children and will need all the necesities.
1) Do companies typically cover the total cost of housing for an employee or a portion (what %)?
2) Do companies usually cover for extra fees (i.e. laundry, groceries, housekeeping, utilities, etc…)
3) Can somebody give me a breakdown of a typical package; whats covered and the cost for each
Any help with this would be great.
Not_Sure
There is nothing for you here in UAE. The only reason you should consider moving is if they pay you 3 times your normal pay.
You will regret it sooner or later otherwise.

I’m afraid this is all very vague and very subjective.
What industry are you working in? What position within the company will you be occupying? And how much experience do you have? These I’d say are the three pivotal points surrounding remuneration and packages..
There is no "norm" with regards to salary structures/ benefits and perks and most items have to be negotiated with the employer.
Your point 2 though made me laugh :) .... not!
There are certain things that are laid out under the labour law though.
You need to provide a little more information for a more complete answer.
