POLICY

Authority to approve lump sum relocation compensation is as follows:

• For president;
• For administrative employees in supervisory positions;
• For full time faculty positions;
• Other positions may qualify on a case by case basis per OFM guidelines.

The full amount of the relocation incentive payment must be repaid to the college if within one year of the date of appointment the employee voluntarily terminates employment or engages in behavior that makes termination of employment necessary. Termination of employment as a result of layoff, disability separation, or other good cause, as determined by the Vice President for Human Resources (or their designee), does not require repayment of the relocation compensation.
