NJIT complies with all federal and state laws in recruiting and employing non-U.S. citizens. In meeting the best interest of the university, NJIT may support a visa application as necessary to enable an employee to work or conduct research in the United States. All departments should be aware that the process of bringing a non US citizen onboard is rather complex and extensive, please plan accordingly, allowing ample time for visa and internal processing. The Department of Human Resources and the Office of Global Initiatives work collaboratively on this process.
Updated IRS Guidelines indicate that moving expense are no longer tax deductible. To comply with this requirement, relocation allocation will be included in a new hire's paycheck, less applicable taxes and made as a lump sum payment. Language regarding relocation and the amount offered, will be included in the offer letter. The amount offered will be determined by the area Vice President, hiring department, HR and the Budget office.
