Moving or Relocation Costs

All employee moving/relocation costs are to be paid as an allowance through payroll after the employee’s start date or effective date of the reassignment. The allowance must be paid from local or sponsored research funds, however no state funds may be used. Allowances are considered taxable income to the employee. Allowances will be reduced by the applicable federal income tax and FICA deductions. With the implementation of Workday, supervisory organizations (ADLOC/departments) will no longer prepare paper forms to send to payroll services for extra and/or supplemental pay for their own employees. They will now use the Workday business process of "Request One-Time Payment" to directly enter payments. Please select the One-Time Payment Plan of “Relocation Allowance”.
