Employee Termination Process

All employees who separate from employment with the University are encouraged to complete an employee exit questionnaire and/or request an exit interview through the Office of Human Resources. Exit interviews are an opportunity to provide information that may assist in making the University a better place to work. To schedule a personal exit interview, please contact the Office of Human Resources by calling (904) 620-2903.

The employee exit questionnaire is a tool to assist employees and departments with the various items that need to be completed and/or addressed prior to the termination effective date.

Employees are encouraged to contact the benefits section within the Office of Human Resources to discuss how their separation from the University will affect their benefits and retirement.

All employees separating from employment with the University must return all University property in their possession and settle their financial accounts. The University reserves the right to deduct any amounts owed to the University from any funds that may be due (E.G., final pay, leave payoff).

The employee's immediate supervisor is responsible for ensuring proper separation procedures are followed and for notifying the department head if property and/or keys are not returned, or accounts are not settled.

It is critical that the department complete a personnel action form (PAF) and forward it to the Office of Human Resources in a timely manner. Please see the payroll calendar for deadlines.
