The date of termination is the last day worked. Upon departure, the employee is entitled to payment for remaining vacation leave balance. Employees who leave before completion of six months of service have no vacation entitlement.
The employee’s letter of resignation along with final pay period time card should be submitted to the Office of Human Resources (HR).
The employee’s final payment(s) are distributed on the next regularly scheduled pay date. If an employee does not have direct deposit, final payments(s) are mailed according to the regular pay schedule. If the employee does not work the anticipated schedule during the final week, the department must immediately notify the Office of Human Resources so the payment(s) may be adjusted.
