Pay for Moving or Relocation Expenses

Certain relocation expenses (pre-move and move) may be paid for eligible faculty and staff. See the Domestic Moving Expenses Policy for guidance on what is allowable. It is important to note that some of these expenses may be taxable to the employee. Therefore, it is essential that these expenses be fully documented on the Employee Moving Expense Form and expensed to the appropriate Program ChartField.

Manage Reimbursements

Payments to moving companies and other suppliers, as well as reimbursements to employees for out-of-pocket relocation expenses, are initiated by completing a non-PO payment request. If a relocation expense has been paid for by using a University credit card, the expense must be substantiated in Concur.
