This policy applies to all faculty and staff when relocation and related travel costs are funded in full or part by the University or when temporary or indefinite work assignments are made with approval by the Chancellor or delegated designee. Relocation expenses for employees may be paid via stipend, dependent upon availability of university funding. Prior to the move, the approving authority must authorize in writing the payment of an employee relocation stipend. They must obtain the authorization letter from the hiring department.

COMMENT: Delegation is restricted to cases when existing (non-centralized savings) funds are being utilized to cover costs. An authorization letter or equivalent form must be attached to any relocation-related payment request. The letter outlines the amount of funding for the stipend(s).
