平特五不中

Staff Departures

平特五不中

When a faculty member or library staff member leaves the University, it is the responsibility of his/her department or unit to initiate the termination following the guidelines below per the appropriate scenario.

Retirement

The Regulations on Retirement of Academic Staff apply to full-time ranked academic staff and set out the general terms and conditions relating to their retirement.

Upon written request from an eligible staff member, the University shall consider the staff member鈥檚 request for retirement. Eligible staff may apply for retirement under one of four options:

  1. Early Retirement
  2. Phased Early Retirement
  3. Retirement at Normal Retirement Date (as defined by the 平特五不中 Pension Plan)
  4. Retirement after Normal Retirement Date with the possibility of a Reduced Load Appointment

Procedures

  1. The staff member considering retirement shall meet with the Department Chair to discuss the options for retirement.听In the case of Phased Retirements or those involving a Reduced Load, the Department Chair and staff member agree on an Academic Plan to be submitted to the Dean and the Provost and Executive Vice-President (Academic).
  2. The staff member provides written notice by email听to the Department Chair, Dean and Provost and Executive Vice-President (Academic)听at the earliest possible date before the beginning of the academic year in which the staff member intends to retire, and no later than six months before the intended retirement date. The notice shall include:

    • the selection of the Retirement Option;
    • the intended date of retirement.
  3. Once approved, the Provost and Executive Vice-President (Academic) communicates the conditions for retirement in a letter of agreement addressed to the staff member.听The staff member reviews, signs and returns the letter, acknowledging that the Date of Retirement is irrevocable and the conditions for retirement may not be modified.

  4. Academic Personnel Office enters phased retirement and reduced load information in Workday, if applicable.

  5. The staff member鈥檚 department issues the Termination in Workday closer to the date of retirement, within 4 months of the departure but after the last possible merit exercise.

Designations

Retired

Upon retirement, the designation 鈥渞etired鈥 shall be used, along with the rank the staff member held prior to retirement. The staff member shall be permitted to retain, as part of the designation, the name of any named chair or professorship held prior to retirement.

Emeritus/Emerita

The honorific "Emeritus/Emerita" designation is accorded to all retired eligible full professors and librarians who, prior to their retirement from the University:

  • have held the rank for a minimum of five (5) years at 平特五不中; and
  • are deemed to have satisfactorily maintained the standards for which they were appointed to that rank.

The designation is granted at the discretion of the University, on the recommendation of the Dean(s) following consultation with the Chair(s).

On retirement, each eligible full professor and librarian is considered for the honorific by their Department Chair and the Dean.

The academic affairs partner (department) initiates the stand alone Add Academic Appointment business process in Workday (no HCM Add Job required). This process is done after the termination is successfully completed. The department attaches the Chair鈥檚 recommendation and CV in the business process, which will then flow through to the academic affairs partner (Faculty) who attaches the Dean鈥檚 recommendation. Once approved by the Provost, a BoG letter will be sent to the retired staff member in Workday.

An Emeritus designation that is approved by the Provost and Executive Vice-President (Academic) is communicated in a letter along with a certificate that is sent to the staff member.

The honorific will be recorded in Workday.

Staff members accorded the honorific may use the Emeritus/Emerita designation effective from the date of retirement. The names of those on whom the honorific has been conferred will appear in the Convocation Booklet.听

Resignation

A staff member who voluntarily resigns from 平特五不中 must provide written notification to their Department Chair, with a copy to the Dean and the Academic Personnel Office. Staff members are asked to provide no less than four weeks鈥 notice prior to their departure, and are encouraged to discuss a plan of departure with their Department Chair or Dean.

In the absence of a written communication, a staff member will be presumed to have resigned should they not be present on the first day of classes, or not return from a leave. In such instances, resignation will be considered automatic.

The department听must initiate the termination business process in Workday and attach the staff member鈥檚 letter of resignation, where possible. The staff member may also initiate the resignation in Workday themselves.
