Procedure to Terminate Temporary Employees: There are three ways that a temporary, part-time employee can be terminated:

1. HRM Action Form - The Supervisor completes an and sends it to the HR/Payroll Service Center to terminate the employee.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that all hours have been paid for work completed before requesting them to be terminated from the position.

2. Pre-determined Assignment End Date - In the case where an employment end date is provided to the HR/Payroll Service Center at the beginning of employment, employees are automatically terminated when that date is reached. If the employee resigns or is terminated prior to the original end date, then the hiring manager must complete an HRM Action form and submit it to the HR/Payroll Service center to terminate the employee.

If a hiring manager has specific questions about terminating a temporary employee, he/she should contact their HRM Consultant.

Collection of University Property

It is the responsibility of the temporary employee's Supervisor and/or Department Head to collect any University property that the temporary employee has in his/her possession.
