Section 155.0 - Statement of policy

(a) Sections 202 and 204 of the State Finance Law authorize the reimbursement of basic moving expenses incurred by certain State employees and new appointees to a department or agency of the State in transporting themselves and their families and household effects to their new places of residence.

(b) In the case of new appointees, it is the policy of the State that such reimbursement may be approved when the Department of Civil Service (for competitive class appointments) or the appointing authority (for appointment outside the competitive class) determine that there exists in New York State a shortage of qualified candidates for the position to which the appointment would be made and when providing such reimbursement would improve the State's ability to consummate an appointment.

(c) For the purpose of reimbursement of moving expenses, these regulations shall apply to employees in negotiating units represented by employee organizations which negotiate pursuant to article 14 of the Civil Service Law. The regulations shall no be applicable until the Director of Employee Relations has delivered to the Comptroller a certificate stating that there is in effect an agreement providing for reimbursement of moving expenses under these regulations.

(d) Persons employed by political subdivisions of the State or by public authorities are not to be considered as State employees for purposes of reimbursement, regardless of the fact that a portion of their compensation may be paid from State funds.

(e) It is not the policy of the State to reimburse either employees or appointees covered by this Part for related expenses in relocation, such as selling and buying a house or renting temporary living quarters.
