XV. Housing Assignment Example
Example: Senior Protective Consultant
Base salary: $120,000
Corporate assignment: Philadelphia → Washington, D.C.
Assignment duration: 6 months
Corporate housing: Furnished apartment
Illustrative housing budget: $4,000/month
Six-month housing value: $24,000
Travel reimbursement: According to company policy

The employee's compensation package could therefore represent substantially more than base salary while allowing the company to distinguish salary compensation from assignment-related business expenses and benefits.

Eligible expenses may include approved:
- Certifications

Company-provided equipment may include:
- Professional communications equipment
- Computers
- Security technology
- Identification credentials
- Protective equipment appropriate to assignment
- Emergency equipment
- Professional clothing/uniforms where required
- Other approved operational equipment
Specialized equipment must be issued, trained on, maintained, and used according to applicable law and company policy.
XIX. Travel & Assignment Benefits
Eligible consultants may receive:
- Transportation reimbursement
- Lodging
- Business travel expenses
- Meals/per diem where applicable
- Rental vehicles
- Approved mileage reimbursement
- Assignment-related communication expenses
- Relocation support
Temporary-work-assignment reimbursements should be structured in accordance with applicable IRS accountable-plan and temporary-assignment rules. IRS guidance generally treats assignments expected to last one year or less differently from indefinite assignments.
XX. Housing Tax & Compliance Policy
Corporate housing must not automatically be characterized as tax-free compensation.
The company will evaluate each housing arrangement based upon:
- Location
- Assignment duration
- Business purpose
- Employee status
- Whether housing is required
- Whether the employee is relocating
- Whether the assignment is temporary
- Applicable federal and state tax rules
- Applicable employment law
IRS rules provide a specific exclusion for lodging furnished on the employer's business premises, for the employer's convenience, and as a condition of employment. Other housing arrangements may be taxable compensation.
Accordingly:
EyeHeart will have tax and employment counsel establish the final Corporate Housing Policy before implementation.
XXI. Performance Incentives
EyeHeart may offer annual or assignment-based incentives.
Potential structure:
Consultant I–II
0–5% target incentive
Senior Consultant
5–10%
Protective Intelligence Consultant
5–15%
Senior Protective Consultant
10–20%
Principal Consultant
10–25%
Director
15–30%
Executive Leadership
20%+, subject to executive compensation policies.
Incentives may be based on:
- Performance
- Client satisfaction
- Professional development
- Assignment quality
- Leadership
- Business development
- Compliance
- Safety performance
- Organizational contribution
Safety and ethical conduct should never be subordinated to revenue or client-retention incentives.
XXII. Career Advancement
EyeHeart should create a transparent advancement pathway:
Security Consultant I
↓
Security Consultant II
↓
Senior Security Consultant
↓
Protective Intelligence Consultant
↓
Senior Protective Consultant
↓
Principal Security Consultant
↓
Director
↓
Executive Security Leadership
Alternative specialist tracks may allow professionals to advance without becoming managers.
For example:
Protective Intelligence Track
Analyst → Senior Analyst → Intelligence Consultant → Senior Intelligence Consultant → Principal Intelligence Consultant
XXIII. The Protect the Protector™ Benefit Philosophy
EyeHeart's most distinctive employment principle is:
Protect the Protector™
The organization recognizes that professionals responsible for protecting others require protection and support themselves.
Therefore EyeHeart seeks to provide a professional environment in which security personnel can achieve:
Professional Stability
Housing Stability
Financial Stability
Family Stability
Physical Safety
Professional Growth
Recovery & Rest
Long-Term Career Development
