Staff Separation Policy

The Staff Separation Policy is designed to ensure that all staff separations, regardless of the reason, are handled consistently, fairly, and respectfully. The policy provides clear guidance on the responsibilities of the staff member, the supervisor, and Human Resources throughout the process.

Overview of Revised Policy:

• Clarifies the need for the supervisor/department head to provide notice of a voluntary employee separation to their Business Officer and Human Resources and seek approval for any involuntary separations.
• Clarifies the responsibilities of Human Resources during a staff separation.
• Consolidates and removes detailed payroll processing information, refocusing the policy on general payroll responsibilities related to an employee’s exit.
• Updates and clarifies information related to an employee’s final paycheck.
• Provides clearer guidance on separation procedures for exiting staff members.
