Is it mandatory that the relocation company designated by UBC be used?
In order to be eligible for central funds reimbursement, the designated relocation company must be used. The benefit of utilizing a single vendor is that the University attains competitive rates against the marketplace, in exchange for our business. New hires may have the option to relocate themselves and still be eligible for reimbursement from Central Funds. However, if any other moving company besides Armstrong and its contractors is utilized, then reimbursement from Central Funds is not available.
