This procedure covers submitting an employee resignation/termination in Manager Self-Service. This must be done by a manager to his or her direct reports or employee(s) in a department that reports to them when notified of a resignation from employment at IC.
When performing Terminations in Manager Self-Service, prompt processing is essential and is the responsibility of every supervisor. The supervisor will be held accountable for excess pay amounts, excess benefit premiums, and unemployment claims resulting from failure to follow the required procedures on time.
Manager Self-Service User*
The HRIS Director [bgriffin@ithaca.edu] is responsible for ensuring that this document is necessary and that it reflects actual practice.
This activity is performed whenever you need to record a resignation/termination for an employee in your department, or in a department that reports to you. Common reasons for termination include relocation, acceptance of a new job, and retirement.
Important: Faculty who will return the next semester should not be terminated at the end of the academic year. For example, at the end of the spring semester, a faculty member should not be terminated if s/he will be reappointed for the upcoming fall semester. However, please be aware that benefits remain in effect and premiums have already been paid by the faculty member for the summer months.
When a termination is submitted through Manager Self-Service, the information goes through a workflow for approval. There is a time-delay as the transaction is processed. When it has gone completely through the workflow, you will receive an email notification.
Refer to An Overview of the MSS Approval Process [REFHRI01] for details on the MSS Workflow.

This is the date that the employee notified you, or that you notified the employee, of the termination. This date cannot be earlier than the date of hire or later than the termination date.

This electronic communication can be an email notification, an electronic version of a paper letter, or a transcribed copy of a paper letter. These attachments become a permanent part of the employment record.
For involuntary terminations, any supporting documentation that is available should be included in the transaction. For a resignation, a letter written by the employee should accompany the transaction as well. If a letter covering the necessary details is not included, write in the Comments to Approver section the circumstances leading to the resignation including how the notification was received and why a letter of resignation is not included.

Here you can add comments to the record which will only be viewed by the parties in the workflow approval process.
