Procedure Steps

NOTE: Employees must be added to the payroll and finance systems prior to any reimbursement of moving expenses. Therefore, reimbursement of moving expenses prior to the new employee orientation requires early submission of the I-9 to Human Resources and the W-4 and VA-4 to Payroll.

NO UNIVERSITY OBLIGATION EXISTS UNTIL THE AGREEMENT IS PROPERLY SIGNED BY ALL PARTIES.
