Employee Exit Process

Policy

All UTMB employees who voluntarily leave employment at UTMB are expected to complete the employee exit process with the Finance, Payroll Services and Human Resources (HR). All employees who voluntarily leave UTMB must complete the UTMB Employee Exit Checklist to the satisfaction of their department representative. This process is designed to ensure that:

    • University property is surrendered. Failure to do so will render employee ineligible from future employment at UTMB

    • Employees are aware of their rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) and other regulations regarding conversion of employee benefit programs, and to review options regarding retirement programs.

    • Employees leaving UTMB involuntarily shall be notified in writing by their supervisor about how to contact the Benefits Department to receive information about their rights under COBRA and other options regarding employee benefit programs

The department is responsible for collecting all UTMB property including badges for contract employees or UTMB employees leaving UTMB involuntarily. In addition, the department is responsible for notifying Information Services (IS) and Campus Police to remove computer and badge access.
