Relocation Policy

When first joining the University and relocating to the local area, Messiah will provide relocation and house-hunting assistance to full-time faculty and administrative employees relocating at least 50 miles. The University provides relocation benefits for employees who will be working full time for at least 39 weeks during the first 12 months of employment and does not provide relocation benefits for part-time, temporary, or one-year appointments.

In the event that two members of the household are accepting employment at the University, the relocation allocation will be 150 percent of the benefit outlined below.

Exceptions to the standard policy need to be approved by the appropriate Vice President or Provost.

Based on the 2018 IRS Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), all house-hunting and relocation expenses are considered taxable benefits and must be reported as such through payroll. This will result in applicable payroll tax withholding based on the employee’s individual tax elections. The year-end W-2 will include any taxable gross wages and withholdings related to moving and house-hunting expenses.

Relocation Expenses

The University will also provide a one-time payment for moving expenses calculated at $7.00 per mile to a maximum payment of $5,000. Mileage will be calculated based upon the distance between the employee’s current home address and new home address via GoogleMaps or comparable mapping source. This payment does not require submission of receipts. This payment, less applicable payroll tax withholding, will be made on first available pay period after, but not prior to, the employee’s start date.

Messiah University Relocation Packet Page 4

House-hunting Expenses

Messiah University will reimburse the new employee up to $1,000, less applicable payroll taxes, for the cost for one trip to search for housing (i.e., house-hunting expenses) subsequent to accepting a job offer. Reimbursable expenses include the cost of airfare, car rental, hotel and meals. These reimbursable expenses are for the new employee and spouse (or travel companion) only. Receipts must be submitted to request reimbursement. This reimbursement, less applicable payroll tax withholding, will be made on the first available pay period, but not prior to the employee’s start date.

The new employee is responsible for making all flight, hotel and car reservations. Receipts must be submitted to the Dean’s administrative assistant or VP’s assistant as appropriate.
