Updated Employee Separation Policy
| Effective Monday, Aug. 17, the updated Administrative Guide 4.5.16, Employee Separation Policy, went into effect in Compliance 360.
Below are some highlights of changes to the policy to ensure separated employees are properly cleared from the system.
- Department managers, supervisors or designees must complete the termination process in the payroll system no later than 5 business days following the termination date.
- The ID badge must be returned to Human Resources within 14 calendar days of the termination date. Non-return of ID badges will incur a $25 fee for the separated employee, which will be deducted from the terminal vacation payout.
- The separating employee will be required to provide a personal email address when the department completes the HR Action.
- Email notification reminders will be sent to the employee (personal email address) regarding their final paycheck and HR Benefits information, along with the employee separation requirements during the clearance process (i.e. return of ID badge, equipment, materials, or payments/fees owed).
- Department managers, supervisors or designees will be required to ensure the return of UAMS property. If items are not returned, the employee will be responsible for payment of the current market value of the equipment. The current market value amount will be deducted from the final terminal vacation payout when UAMS property is not returned.
