Panasonic compensates employees for Chinese pollution
If you're employed by a big corporation and they send you abroad for work, the transition is often helped by a juicy relocation package.
This can involve subsidised housing and regular flights home.
But now Japanese electronics firm Panasonic is offering staff moving to China a payment to help cope with the country's notorious smog.
The company is to pay expatriate employees a 'pollution premium'.
So how unusual is this move by Panasonic? With China so important to the global economy, are we likely to see more companies following Panasonic's lead?
