SECTION 1 – Agreement
This Moving and Relocation Tenure Agreement is made and entered into on (Date) for the payment of employee moving and relocation expenses of (Employee Name) who has accepted employment with the Virginia Department of Forestry (VDOF).
1.	In order to assist the Employee in meeting the extraordinary expenses of moving and relocation and as a further inducement to accept employment, VDOF agrees to reimburse the Employee for reasonable moving and relocation expenses in accordance with the Commonwealth of Virginia Moving and Relocation Regulations issued by the Office of the Comptroller in effect on the date of this Agreement.

3.	The Employee further agrees that in the event he or she does not remain in the employ of VDOF as a full-time employee for the full twelve-month period, the Employee will repay to VDOF a prorated amount of the gross reimbursement for moving and relocation expenses. The amount to be repaid shall be prorated on a monthly basis such that for each full month during which the Employee remained in the employ of the VDOF, the amount to be repaid shall be reduced by one-twelfth (1/12) of the gross reimbursement. VDOF, in its sole and absolute discretion, may waive repayment if the Employee is separated for reasons beyond the Employee's control, but in no event shall termination for standards of conduct violations be a reason beyond the Employee's control. Repayment will not be required if termination is at the election of the agency as the result of a layoff.
