SUMMARY

University departments may offer moving allowances for new employees when in the best interest of the University. For current employees, a moving allowance may be authorized when it is in the best interest of the University to move a current employee from one campus or location to another.

1. Policy -- Moving allowances are not to exceed five percent (5%) of the employee's annual salary, or $10,000, whichever is less. In special circumstances the President, Vice President, Chancellor, or Hospital Chief Executive Officer may authorize an allowance in excess of 5% or $10,000.
2. Authorization -- Moving allowances are not an entitlement and will not be authorized in all circumstances. °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ may also limit moving allowances to less than the maximum amount allowed by policy.

   Prior to making an offer of a moving allowance to a new or current employee, the allowance must be authorized by the President, Vice President, Chancellor, Hospital Chief Executive Officer, or a designee.

3. Repayment Agreement -- As a condition of receiving a moving allowance, new and current employees must sign an agreement requiring repayment of the allowance contingent upon continuing employment with the University for a two year period. Repayment of the allowance shall be in accordance with the following schedule:
   • Less than six (6) full months worked – return 100 percent;
   • At least six (6) full months worked, but less than 12 full months – return 75 percent;
   • At least 12 full months worked, but less than 18 full months – return 50 percent; and
   • At least 18 full months worked, but less than 24 full months – return 25 percent.
4. Payment Distribution -- Approved moving allowance will be paid after the employee’s effective date of hire with the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ, or if the employee is a current University employee, after the employee begins regular employment at the new campus or location.
