Employee Departures User Guide

Login & Access

Employees leave RIT for a variety of reasons, either voluntary or involuntary. The online process outlined here expedites the information necessary to provide the exiting employee with the appropriate material in a timely manner. Entry of the transaction as early as possible ensures that all regulatory processing can occur as well as avoids potential overpayments. This transaction should only be used for regular faculty and staff.

Voluntary departures:
When an employee has notified the supervisor of their resignation, the supervisor should acknowledge the information and ask that the employee provide a written notification of their exit including the reason and the date.

Involuntary departures:
Prior to notifying the employee of the termination, the supervisor must review the termination details with their HR Business Partner (HRBP).

Additional information on the tasks surrounding an exit can be found on the Departure Checklist.
