Conditions of Employment

Leaving the University

If you resign from your position at Mason, you should try to give at least two weeks notice to your supervisor. A letter of resignation, indicating your last day of work and the reason you are leaving, is needed to complete your record. Before you leave you should meet with an HR and Payroll benefits representative to discuss options for your health insurance, life insurance, retirement plan and other benefits and to complete an exit interview. You also will need to return your keys, photo ID, uniform and any University property in your possession before you leave. Checklists to assist you and your supervisor are available on the Exit Process page of the Human Resources & Payroll website.

If you are terminated involuntarily from your position, you will receive notification of your termination in writing. You should meet with an HR Consultant to discuss your benefits and to learn of any rights you have to appeal your termination.
