Cornell units may elect to pay for the moving of household goods for newly recruited employees. Payments for such expenses must be authorized at the unit level. However, not all newly recruited employees are guaranteed a Cornell-furnished household move. Move arrangements are at the discretion of the hiring department or business area.
The Office for Supply Management Services (SMS) has contracted with four suppliers for household moving services. Each arrangement is documented and designed to provide both Cornell and the new hire with certain protections.
