Staff appointed to permanent posts, or posts of 5 years or over, who have to move house to the Edinburgh area, are reimbursed for their physical removal expenses (i.e. furniture and effects). If relocating from outside the UK, this applies from the port of entry only. A resettlement allowance is paid to academic and academic-related staff appointed to permanent posts, where on first appointment they have to move house to the Edinburgh area.
