Eligibility for Payment of Staff Move/ Transfer Expenses

Summary: Subject to the availability of funds, some employees' moving expenses may be paid according to the eligibility requirements below.

In the right place? Guidelines for faculty positions can be found on the Academic Affairs Web site.

Note: You need approval by the appropriate authority for payment of move/ transfer expenses for new or transferring employees.

Type of position		Eligibility requirements
	New staff	The employee must have been hired for a position that requires specialized training or experience of a technical, professional, or administrative nature. New support staff are not eligible. In this situation, up to 50% (or more) of the moving costs are covered. In costly moves from foreign countries, the full 50% may not be provided. Note to supervisors: To request payment for amounts over 50%, see Step 4 of Obtaining Approval.
	Transferring staff	The employee is eligible for full reimbursement of transferring costs if the move is due to one of the following reasons: The employee's skills are needed at a university location that is outside reasonable commuting distance. The employee accepts a position at a higher salary grade at a new university location that is outside reasonable commuting distance. The employee must transfer to a new place of work that is outside reasonable commuting distance because UCSD has relocated offices, teaching facilities, or laboratories. The employee has accepted a position of the same or lower grade at a campus that is located outside reasonable commuting distance. A Senior Manager or Support Staff (not a Manager, Senior Professional, or Professional) accepts an employee-initiated promotion at a campus that is located outside reasonable commuting distance.
