GVSU Employee Departure Notice Process
Departure Form
The process for terminating an employee in Workday is typically prompted by the employee submitting their resignation through the "Submit Resignation" task, but also can be initiated by the supervisor, administrative staff/office coordinator, or Human Resources.
Login to workday.gvsu.edu to:
- Submit Resignation (Help article; completed by employee)
- Terminate Employment (Help article; completed on behalf of employee)
Please note this form informs only Human Resources of the change. Please continue to notify the Budget Office and the Office of the Provost as you normally would for departures and retirements.
What happens when I submit a notice of employee departure?
It is important to provide the employee departure date for a GVSU employee to Human Resources as soon as possible to allow for all parties to be notified and internal processes initiated.
Once an employee departure date notice is provided:
- HR Admin adds to the departure list to be sent to University partners
- HR Admin processes in Banner
- Benefits receives information for the last day of effective benefits
- Employment notes the position number for backfilling if needed
- Staff Relations sends exit interview survey
- Network Account authorizations receives data to deactivate account
- The Key Department reaches out for key(s) return
- IT reaches out for technology equipment return
- Parking Services notes the date to end parking permit
- Board of Trustees are notified (if applies)
- Removed from the Catalog (if applies)
- Retirees are added to all applicable lists
Things to Consider
Please consider the below items when approving a departure/retirement:
