IX. TERMINATION

IX A.  Notice.  All employees are required to give at least two weeks written notice prior to terminating their service with the college.  An individual terminating with less than a two-week notice will forfeit his/her right to compensation for unused vacation days.

IX B.  “Personnel Change” Form.  The standard form should be used by department supervisors to advise the personnel office of an employee’s termination or intent to terminate.  This will facilitate accomplishment of unfinished business prior to processing the final payroll check (ex: cash advances, insurance, return of keys, tuition remission, etc.).  Additionally, this form provides an opportunity for supervisors to make recommendations regarding rehire in the event the exiting employee should apply for subsequent re-employment at the college.  Discharged employees are not eligible for rehire.

IX C.  Exit Interview.  All employees should report to the Human Resource office, upon termination, whether their termination is voluntary or involuntary.  At that time all paperwork relative to termination can be completed and extension of benefits discussed.  The final payroll check will be picked up at the Payroll office.

IX D.  Retirement from the College.  An employee is considered a retiree if he/she voluntarily terminates service at Lenoir-Rhyne after age 55 and whose age plus length of service equal at least 70.

Retirees are honored at a reception at the president’s home in May of the year in which they retire, and also may choose a Lenoir-Rhyne keepsake gift.  Retirees are invited to major college functions and receive college mailings.

Certain benefits regarding health insurance, tuition remission, and holiday leave may apply upon retirement; inquire for details at the personnel office.
