J. Relocation Expense Policy for Administrative Staff

The university financially assists new faculty and administrative staff members in relocating to or near Clark County. New faculty and administrative staff who are awarded a full-time, regular position and who are moving to within (60) sixty miles of Wittenberg are eligible for this benefit. The university
provides the following options:

• Option A: The greater of either a lump-sum payment of $800 for in-state relocations and $1,200
for out-of-state relocations, or

• Option B: 50 percent of the actual expenses incurred (up to a maximum of $4,000) in moving
furniture and household items. Items such as the transportation of the employee and his or her
family, meals, and lodging en route are not covered, and receipts must be submitted for all
expenses.

To claim reimbursement for relocation expenses, submit a Relocation Request for Payment Form to the
Human Resources department. The relocation reimbursement is reported as taxable wages on your
annual Form W-2, and the employee is responsible for all applicable Federal, State and local income
taxes. For tax purposes, retain all documentation of your actual moving expenses.
