New Procedure for Movement of Household GoodsDepartments wishing to pay for part or all of a new employee's relocation costs must do so using a moving allowance. Accordingly, departments wishing to extend a moving allowance to a new employee should include a moving allowance amount as part of the employment offer. All moving allowances must be approved by the chancellor or vice president, or their designee prior to extending the offer. Once approved, offered and accepted, the moving allowance will be paid by a voucher check based upon a completed T-27 (Request for Special Payment) and supported by a copy of the fully executed offer letter evidencing the moving allowance amount. All allowances will be reported as taxable income.
NOTE: The current list of agents for major movers (offering significant discounts) and referenced in this procedure, may be used at the discretion of the moving party.
