To control payment of relocation expenses for newly hired regular full-time salaried employees.

All faculty, staff, and prospective full-time salaried employees

University departments may authorize payment of relocation expenses for newly hired regular full-time salaried employees.  The new hire must be relocating from more than 100 miles away from Marquette, Michigan. The University department and/or division is responsible for the funding of the relocation reimbursement.  The department can authorize up to 5% of the starting base salary.
