Once you have selected a qualified final candidate, you will need to establish a proposed salary and obtain approval for the salary offer from your Employment Specialist (ES).

Domiciliary Relocation

If your candidate will have to make a domiciliary move (relocate and establish a new residence), determine whether it may be appropriate to include a "lump sum relocation incentive payment" and/or to pay moving expenses as part of your offer of employment. Review the following resources for information about these options.

• Administrative Policy Statement 34.1 - Payment of Moving Expenses Incurred by New or Transferred Employees
• Administrative Policy Statement 34.2 - Lump Sum Relocation Payment
• Lump Sum Relocation Incentive Payment Procedure

Request Approval to make Offer

Follow these steps to request offer approval:

1. In the UWHIRES "Requisition View", scroll down to the "Candidates" tab.
2. Click on the "Add Activity" link for the candidate you wish to make an offer to. This will open the "Add Activity" window.
3. Select "Request Approval for Offer" from the "Type" drop down box.
4. Click "Save." This will open a new "Offer Details" window.
5. Complete this page by entering the appropriate information in each field.
6. Upon clicking "Save," your ES will be notified of your request for salary review, followed by the other approvers on the list.

Make the Offer

Once the salary has been approved, you can make the offer to the candidate. Contact your ES if salary negotiation is needed.

For UW and Harborview Medical Centers, and for positions that are designated as security/safety sensitive, offers must be made contingent upon a successful background check.

Notify your ES if the status of your offer and of the start date if the offer is accepted.
