What is the difference between Relocation and Housing allowance?
Relocation Allowance is used to record relocation costs. Payments are subject to withholding taxes but not subject to fringe benefits (for additional information, contact the Payroll office.) Allowance payment can be processed via DHRS or a purchase order as decided by the hiring authority and the employee. To submit in DHRS Web: Process allowance with the New Hire/Rehire document using event code A (New Hire) or B (Rehire) as appropriate. If processed after the new hire/rehire have been approved, use the Salary Change document and event code RP (retro pay).
