Policy

  1. It is the responsibility of the home department to enter into Workday the termination of a staff member (along with entering the proper reason for termination), as soon as possible. 

  2. If termination is entered into Workday after the payroll cutoff date which would result in the employee’s being overpaid, the department must immediately notify the Payroll Department, in writing, of the termination in order to make any necessary adjustments. 

  3. It is also the responsibility of the home department to collect the terminating staff member’s University identification card, keys, library books and any other University property, as well as take reasonable steps to inventory and remove (or request removal of) the terminated staff member’s access privileges to University, departmental, School, and other information systems containing personal or proprietary data.
