§ 82-239. Terminations

(1) When an employee terminates, a notice of separation form (no. 6-5) should immediately be submitted by email to the county auditor, treasurer and human resources/civil service department to ensure that the employee is removed from the system and that benefits are terminated.

(2) The department shall process or notify the auditor's office of the employee's termination. Failure to timely notify will result in the deduction of the full insurance premium or accrual amount (county plus employee) from the department's discretionary spending account (DDA).

(3) All terminations, voluntary or involuntary, except those resulting from a reduction-in-force, shall be final and constitute a break in service. A civil service employee terminated as a result of reduction-in-force may retain his original hire date if rehired within one year. See termination policy for employees terminated as a reduction-in-force in chapter 86, article IV.

(4) The elected official/department head has final discretion regarding termination in the case where an employee submits a letter of resignation, then prior to his/her termination date wishes to withdraw the resignation to remain employed.

a. The effective termination date is the date the employee indicates in the resignation notice (written/verbal) or earlier depending upon the elected official/department head decision to accept resignation immediately and terminate the employee as a matter of security and/or safety.

b. A letter of resignation cannot be withdrawn by either party after the effective date of termination on the employee's resignation notice or elected official's/department head's decision to immediate terminate the employee.

c. When a resignation is given, all applicable paperwork must be processed immediately.
