Termination of Employment
Employees who voluntarily resign should give as much notice as possible (at least two weeks). Resignation notices should be submitted in writing to a supervisor or department head, with a copy sent to Human Resources, and should include the reason for the resignation. Vacation time or other paid time off cannot be used to extend the effective date of termination beyond the employee’s last day of work.
Employees who voluntarily resign will receive their final paycheck, including any accrued, unused time off up to the maximum allowable, in the next pay period following their resignation date. Employees who are involuntarily terminated by Wesleyan will receive their final paycheck, including any accrued, unused time off up to the maximum allowable, no later than one day following termination of employment.
On or before the last day of employment, employees must return all University property, which may include keys, library materials, staff identification card, computer equipment, documents, and manuals.
Employment at Wesleyan University is on an "at will" basis; therefore, either party may end the employment relationship at any time. Employees who have been terminated for any reason other than a position elimination are generally not rehired by the University.
