Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

eTravel: Relocation Reimbursements

 

  • Only new employees where relocation reimbursement is offered in your signed official offer letter may request a relocation reimbursement.
    • By Official, this means that the following people must provided prior approval: Department Chair, PI of employee, and College HR Manager.
      • If a faculty member, the ASC NMS Divisional Dean will have also signed the offer letter.
    • The ASC NMS Divisional Dean may be required to provide pre-approval if a larger amount is requested.
    • The Department and PIs are not required to provide relocation reimbursement to new employees
  • All receipts must be submitted together after arrival and must be submitted to the Admin Manager (schweinfurth.22).
    • The relocation reimbursement is for a one-way relocation trip to Columbus; however, house hunting may be allowable for reimbursement if you notified the department in advance of your travel to Columbus.
    • If there are any issues or questions, you will be contacted after everything has been reviewed (or converted if international travel was involved)
  • Please be sure to review the Relocation Expenses policy 2.30*, as some items will be subject to tax withholding and others may be non-reimbursable expenses (i.e. utility charges, household related items (light bulbs, brooms, furniture, etc.), meals after arriving, real estate expenses, loss of security deposit, etc.)
    • The department is not responsible for paying oil change/car service fees.
  • If the Payroll/Tax office find any issues with your receipts, the reimbursement may be delayed.

For any questions related to the Department of Microbiology process, please contact the Admin Manager (schweinfurth.22)
