HR Chat: Employee Relocation

You recently hired an employee from out of state who will be relocating to the company office in Illinois. As part of the hiring agreement, you’re offering to cover some of the moving expenses for the new employee. However, in the past, moving expenses have not been provided to employees relocating from out of state. If other employees become aware of this new arrangement, would we be required to reimburse them for their past moving expenses as well?
