Separation of Employment
Employment between employees and the College is “employment at will” unless otherwise explicitly specified and signed in writing. This means that the employment relationship may be terminated by the college at any time for any reason. The employee may resign at any time. The College also reserves the right to terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without notice.
Involuntary Separation of Employment
Involuntary separation is a separation from employment which is initiated by the College. This may include, but is not necessarily limited to termination for performance, misconduct, policy violations, layoffs, reductions in force, or retrenchments (elimination of positions).
Voluntary Separation of Employment: Resignation
In the event that an employee decides to resign, the employee should notify their supervisor in writing, Department and/or Division Head, and The Office of Human Resources. The College expects that non-exempt employees provide a two (2) weeks’ notice and exempt employees provide a three (3) weeks’ notice to allow time for the College to begin the recruitment process and to train a replacement. Employees are expected to provide their written notice to their supervisor. Written notice is required and will be requested for voluntary separations.
Employees are obligated to return all College property and information upon separation. The College reserves the right to recover any property belonging to the College that has not been returned to the fullest extent possible under the law.
Voluntary Separation of Employment: Retirement
In the event an employee is seeking to retire, the employee should notify their supervisor, Department and/or Division Head, and The Office of Human Resources at least 30 days’ prior to the effective retirement date.
Final Paycheck
Employees’ final paycheck will be available at the end of the next regularly schedule pay day for that pay period.
