TAP NO. 10: TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT – NOTICE GUIDELINES, NON-FACULTY EMPLOYEES

The following guidelines apply when full-time, (non-faculty) employees resign or are dismissed from University employment.

1. Resignation

Employees who voluntarily terminate their employment from the University are requested to give as much notice as possible to enable the University to begin the search for a replacement. A minimum notice of two weeks is requested for administrative/professional and clerical/secretarial/support employees. Academic deans are requested to give notice in advance of the semester in which the resignation will be effective. Notice of resignation should be provided in writing. Employees classified as officer or administrative/ professional are subject to the provisions of the University Executive Resolutions.

2. Dismissal

Employees who are dismissed from the University will be given reasonable notice if circumstances warrant.

Supervisors are responsible for seeing that all University property, keys, ID cards, etc., are returned to the University in a timely fashion. The employee is responsible for settling all obligations, such as parking violation fees, library books or fees, loans, etc., before departing the University.

The University reserves the right to hold the individual’s final salary and vacation payment until these property and financial obligations are satisfied.

The last day worked will be considered the last day of employment for benefit entitlement and for record keeping purposes. Remaining vacation days due will be paid out but will not extend employment.

3. Rehire

Individuals who leave the University voluntarily and in good standing are usually eligible for rehire. The Office of Human Resource Management will verify rehire status.
