All separations, including retirements, resignations, transfers, involuntary terminations, and ended fixed-term appointments are processed in WorkLion.
When a manager or an employee becomes aware that an individual is leaving his/her position (voluntarily or involuntarily), the separation process must be initiated in WorkLion:
- Go to the WorkLion portal.
- Select "Initiate Separation" from the MANAGER TOOLS dropdown menu.
- Complete the form.
- Attached the resignation/retirement letter, for voluntary separations.
- Click SUBMIT.
Once the separation is processed in Workday, a Transfer Separation Checklist task is sent to the hiring manager’s Workday inbox. Click here for more information regarding the checklist.
Please refer to University policy HRG20 Separation and Transfer Protocol for more information.
