leaving
We realise that from time-to-time people will leave the Company. It is important that
your working relationship with us continues as normal during this period to ensure
effective handover of your role.

retirement
We do not operate a fixed retirement age. Retirement will be a matter of individual choice for
employees. If you wish to retire, you are required to provide at least your contractual notice
period prior to your proposed retirement date. We would ask that you would give us more
notice wherever possible, as this will assist with succession planning and handover
arrangements.
retirement process
Once an employee has decided that they wish to retire, they should inform their line manager
in writing of their intended retirement resignation date, in accordance with their contractual
notice period.
The Fuller Research Group will write to the employee acknowledging receipt of the
employee’s notice of retirement resignation letter.
The line manager will meet the employee to discuss arrangements for leaving the company,
including intended leaving date, succession and handover plans and so on.
Once leaving date has been agreed, the company will write to the employee confirming their
last day of employment, and the normal arrangements for leaving the company will apply.
notice
If you wish to resign you should write a letter to your Head of Department, stating clearly the
day on which you wish your resignation to become effective taking account of the required
contractual notice period stated in your terms and conditions.
Similarly, if we terminate your employment for any reason, this will also be confirmed in
writing.
When your letter is received a copy will be sent to HR, this will start the administration
process. We will issue a letter confirming your resignation and the date on which your
employment will cease.
p
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to require employees who have resigned with
notice, or who have been given notice to terminate their contract by the organisation, not to
attend their place of work for all or part of the notice period.
exit interviews
The purpose of conducting exit interviews is to identify the reasons why you are leaving,
which will enable us to monitor the information received and highlight any trends.
The information received will be used to develop our policies.
All employees will be asked to take part in an exit interview.
