Employment Termination

There can be many reasons why employment may terminate. The following are some of the most common reasons for termination of employment:

* Resignation - voluntary employment termination initiated by an Employee.

* Discharge - involuntary employment termination initiated by the College.

* Layoff - involuntary employment termination initiated by the College for nondisciplinary reasons.

* Retirement - voluntary employment termination initiated by the Employee meeting age, length of service, and any other criteria for retirement from the College.

The College will usually schedule an exit interview when an Employee terminates his or her employment. At the exit interview, you may be asked to review topics such as your benefits, benefits conversion rights, repayment of any outstanding debt to the College, or return of College-owned property. You may also make suggestions or complaints and ask questions at the exit interview.

All accrued, vested benefits that are due and payable at termination will be paid out. You may be allowed to continue some benefits by paying for them yourself. You will be notified in writing by the Human Resources Office about which benefits you can continue and the limitations and details of how to continue them.
