POLICY: RESIGNATION SECTION: 4.25 When an employee voluntarily resigns from employment with the City, he or she must submit a written notice at least two weeks in advance. Advance notice will assist the City in preparing to fill the position. Procedures The letter of resignation is submitted to the immediate Supervisor, and should include the following: • An indication that the resignation is voluntary. • The reason for leaving • The last day of actual work • The employee’s signature Failure to Give Notice If an employee fails to submit a letter of resignation two weeks prior to their actual last day of work, it may result in loss of “good standing” and influence future employment opportunities with the City. In addition, it may impact the content of future reference reports on the individual. If an employee quits, but refuses to submit a letter of resignation, the Supervisor will need to complete a written report on the circumstances surrounding the matter. Unauthorized Absence Unauthorized absences from work for a period of three (3) consecutive work days may be considered as a resignation without proper notice. Checking Out The letter of resignation is given to the Human Resource Representative. See Section 4.35 for check-out procedures and further information. POLICY: RETIREMENT SECTION: 4.30 Retirement is defined as separation from City employment when the employee is immediately eligible, based on age and/or service requirements, for an annuity from the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA). Retirement benefits are provided to City employees who terminate employment and are eligible to draw pensions under City retirement programs. Eligibility requirements, including age and length of service, vary among City retirement programs. Employees who intend to retire are encouraged to obtain forms and benefit information from their retirement program administrator at least one year in advance of an estimated retirement date.
