KSU will extend to a separated individual all possible consideration, consistent with integrity, sound business practices, and the University's position regarding nondiscrimination in the employment relationship.

The University, recognizing that conditions arise which result in voluntary or involuntary employee separations, will sever the employment relationship equitably and consistently in accordance with this policy.

All employees separating employment from KSU.

Separation of employment is the severance of the employment relationship between KSU and the individual. It will be regarded as permanent and the individual will, as of the date of separation, forfeit all accrued continuous service and benefits in accordance with other appropriate practices. Should such separated employee be rehired at a later date, he or she will be as a new employee except where benefits provisions provide for restored service.

Employment at Kentucky State University is at will. Employment termination may be initiated at any time by either the employee or the University in accordance with this policy.

This is a resignation, which is a separation initiated by the employee. The employee may voluntarily provide in writing to their supervisor and the Department of Human Resources the following notice: four (4) weeks for exempt staff and two (2) weeks for non-exempt staff. Such notice will provide departments the opportunity to initiate staffing plans, in addition to processing the final paycheck, the benefits status forms, the scheduling of an exit interview, and the return of University property.
