If You Leave the University

Any employee voluntarily leaving the University can provide information regarding their work experience via an exit interview. To schedule an exit interview call Human Resources at x5-0237.

Layoffs can occur as a response to the need to reduce the number of employees because of lack of work or funds. Those employees on indefinite layoff (4 -12 months) who have one or more years of continuous service will be eligible for severance pay; those on temporary layoff (less than 4 months) will not be eligible for severance pay. Recalls will be in reverse order of layoff, provided the employee to be recalled has the ability to perform the duties involved. Those employees on layoff for more than one year will be terminated.

Hourly paid, non-exempt employees are expected to provide at least 2 weeks separation notice. Salaried and hourly paid exempt employees are expected to provide notice at least 30 calendar days prior to the last working day. If the University terminates an individual for reasons other than serious misconduct, 2 weeks’ notice may be provided to hourly paid (non-exempt) employees and 30 calendar days notice to salaried and hourly-paid exempt employees, depending on the circumstances.
