Leaving Process
When members of staff leave the College, it is essential that information reaches all those
who need to know as quickly as possible. Failure to do so has implications for the leaver and
their department, division, school or institute.
A leavers form or Intention to Retire form should be completed as applicable for all staff
members who are leaving the College, regardless of the circumstances. These include:






Retirement (for any reason)
Resignation
Death
Dismissal
Redundancy
Contract Expiry
The Quick Reference Guide below sets out the individual responsibilities of the Leaver and
Departmental Operating Manager, along with the actions that Administrative Divisions will
take upon receipt of the leavers form.
In the event of a member of staff's death, please refer to the College's Death Protocol in the
first instance as some of the actions below may not apply.
Where dismissal is a possible outcome of a formal HR procedure it is important to consider
both how the message will be communicated to the member of staff and how their exit from
the College should be managed. Additional information is available for reference.
