Job Abandonment is considered to be a Voluntary Separation from the University.
Voluntary Separation occurs when an employee of the University decides to end all campus affiliated jobs.
When an employee fails to report to work for five consecutive workdays, the employee is considered to have resigned.
Process Overview:
- The Supervisor determines employee has failed to report to work.
- The Supervisor consults with HR Service Team Representative (HRSTR) to confirm whether job abandonment has occurred.
- If the employee fails to report to work for two consecutive work days; the HRSTR provides written notification of unexcused absences signed by the supervisor to the employee confirming dates of unexcused absences and the possibility of separation due to job abandonment.
- The Supervisor notifies their unit/division of possible job abandonment.
- After the Employee fails to report to work for five consecutive work days; the HRSTR provides written notification signed by the supervisor to the employee of the intent to separate due to job abandonment. The notification states the reason for the separation, the effective date of the separation, and states the employee's right to respond to the University within fourteen (14) calendar days. The notification is mailed to the employee's home address with a Proof of Service Form.
- If the employee responds, the supervisor, in consultation with their HRSTR, will determine whether separation is appropriate.
- Issue notice of final decision to employee.
- If employee does not respond, issue notice of separation to employee.
- The Supervisor sends the final time record to HRSTR.
- The HRSTR processes the separation paperwork and final paycheck.
- The HRSTR mails the employee their final paycheck and Termination of Benefits Checklist.
