SEPARATION
Resignation
If you find it necessary to resign, you are requested to give a two-week notice of your
resignation in writing, specifying the last day you will be at work. This date will be
considered your effective resignation date. Notice of resignation should be provided to your
immediate manager, with a copy to Human Resources for your personnel file.
Exit Interviews
The Company endeavors to conduct exit interviews with separating employees to discuss
the employee's experience with the Company and the effect of separation on benefits.
Return of Company Property
All documents and materials pertaining to the business or operations of the Company that
were prepared by employees or that came into employees' possession during employment
are the property of the Company. Upon termination of employment, or upon earlier request
of the Company, employees must return to the Company all such documents, materials,
records, equipment, keys, and all other property in their possession or control, including all
forms of confidential information.
Severance Pay
No employee shall be entitled to severance pay upon leaving the Company simply as a
reward for service. The company, at its sole discretion, may pay severance to a departing
employee only when the departing employee has signed a severance agreement generally
releasing the company from all claims that the employee may have against the company. If
the Company chooses to pay an employee in lieu of notice, the employee will remain an
employee until their termination date and thereby is subject to all Company policies and
guidelines.
