Eligibility & Reimbursement Restrictions
Occasionally it may be necessary to offer reimbursement of personal moving expenses to new professional staff when issuing an offer of employment.  University policy as stated in Admisistrative Policy and Procedure number 257 requires that moving expenses be funded within the hiring unit's resources and the maximum amount allowable is the equivalent of one month's salary of the individual.  Only new deans, academic administrators, and executives are eligible, as determined by the university's employee class.

Accountable Plan
The University's moving expense policies and regulations are intended to be an "accountable plan".  This means some moving expense reimbursements are reported as non-taxable to the employee, while others are reported as employee compensation.  To be reported as non-taxable, reimbursements for moving expenses should be submitted to the Accounts Payable Office within 60 days after the move is completed.
