Employees and Supervisors
This process is for voluntary departures only, such as resignations, retirements, etc. Any Involuntary separations must be initiated with your HR Representative first and they will guide you through the process.
If you plan to resign or retire from the university, please submit a resignation letter to your manager. An email with your last day worked and intention to resign will suffice. When possible, please give at least two weeks notice. If you plan to retire, please notify Viktoria Rill in benefits as well, vrill@iit.edu.
If you are a faculty member planning to resign, retire, go on leave, or go on sabbatical, please notify Dionna Anderson and Domenica Pappas immediately. If your role is funded by, or tied to, a grant please notify GCA. This process must be initiated well in advance of your last day worked. Any retirements should also get in touch with Viktoria Rill.
Arrangements should be made with your manager to return all University property such as keys, ID badge, laptops, credit card, books, etc. All University property must be turned in by your last day of employment. Network Access will be disabled the day after an employees last day worked. If a supervisor needs access to a separated employee’s files, notify the support desk along with the business reason for the request. HR and Legal will need to provide approval. Continuation of access must be requested and follow the OTS process.
Your final paycheck will be issued on the next regularly scheduled pay date following your termination date and submission of your last timesheet, via direct deposit, and will include any unused vacation. All other time off balances will not be paid out. Please make sure to submit your timesheet on your last day. If there will be any exceptions or concerns notify HRBP immediately so they can account for it before the final payment is sent to payroll. Prior to your departure, we recommend saving copies of your last 2-4 paystubs, as well as your most recent W2, as you will likely not have access to the system after your last day.
If you would like a copy of your final paystub, please reach out to the Payroll department directly at payroll@iit.edu.
Your benefits will remain active until the end of the month in which you resigned, after which you will need to enroll in COBRA to continue them. That information will be sent by our vendor after your last day. More information can be found here.
