If you are a non-exempt employee and you intend to voluntarily terminate your employment with the University by retirement or otherwise, you are asked to provide written notice to your supervisor at least two (2) weeks prior to your last working day. If you are an exempt employee, you are requested to provide at least four (4) weeks’ notice. Nevertheless, you are employed by the University on an at-will basis, and your employment may be terminated at any time, with or without cause, even during such notice period.
On or after your last working day, you will receive pay for accrued but unused vacation leave in accordance with the vacation policy. If you are absent from work during the notice period, your vacation leave will be reduced accordingly. If you use sick leave after you have given notice, you may be required to provide a doctor’s certificate. You may be asked to complete an exit interview prior to the completion of your last day of work. You must return all University property assigned to you on or before your last day of work.
At the time of your voluntary termination of your employment with the University, any money owed by you to the University must be repaid.
From time to time, the University may have to reduce the number of staff positions. In this circumstance, the University will endeavor to provide separated employees as smooth a transition as possible.
