Employee Separation & Property Clearance

Voluntary Separations from the university 

 

The Employee Separation & Property Clearance formOpens in new window is used to initiate a notice of separation to Payroll Services and an electronic property clearance for the following:

    • Full time Faculty – Resigning, retiring or beginning/ending FERP
    • Part Time Faculty – ONLY use when leaving position PRIOR to appointment end date
    • Staff and Management – When resigning, retiring, or ending temporary employment contract
    • Student Employees - ONLY use when leaving position PRIOR to appointment end date
 

Employees who are transferring to another CSUF division or department, a separation form should not be completed.  

Employees with two positions on campus and are only resigning from one position, can select the specific position without completely separating from employment. 

If an employee cannot complete the process, Faculty should contact their Department Chair and Staff/Management should contact their first level manager (MPP) or their division HR Coordinator for assistance.

All entries must be made in CSU Time prior to last day worked.
