Things to Consider/Common Q’s
- Using contracted vendors is required when UWEC will receive the invoice/pay the bill directly. However, you may opt to do a self move and receive a stipend to cover expenses instead.
- If the new employee obtains a stipend, using a contracted vendor is not required and the payment process is the responsibility of the employee.
- The stipend needs to be manually requested through the e-reimbursement module. Firstsource can help with this at (715) 836-3131.
- If you go through our contracted vendor, we are able to directly pay them up to the amount allowed in your offer letter.
