Employee Separation Procedures

Employee Separation is the process of ensuring that an employee who voluntarily separates from the District is exited in a structured and orderly manner.  

The employee separation process starts from the time the employee gives notice to their Principal/Supervisor about their intention to separate. Once the employee gives notice, the employee’s Principal/Supervisor is tasked with the process of ensuring proper handover of District materials and closure of work tasks allotted to the employee.
