In the case of a resignation, a signed letter of resignation is expected.  The letter must state the reason for resignation and last day to be worked.  This letter must be attached to an E.R.C.R. and forwarded immediately to the Department of Human Resources by the appropriate department head.
 

    Staff employees are requested to supply the University with at least two weeks' advance notice of their intent to leave their jobs at Chapman University.  Such notice is accepted only in writing.

    Administrators are requested to supply the University with at least thirty days' advance notice of their intent to leave their jobs at the University.  Such notice will be accepted only in writing and must indicate last day to be worked and the reason for resignation.

    Employees who do not supply the requested notice may be considered ineligible for rehire, should their departure without notice have a negative impact on their department.

    In addition, the University is not obliged to honor resignation notices given inappropriately far in advance, or to honor otherwise reasonable resignation notices if a resigning employee fails to carry out his/her work responsibilities in a professional manner during the notice period.
