Effective immediately, Human Resource Services (HRS) is streamlining how departments report faculty and Supportive Professional Staff resignations and retirements.
What’s Changing: Departments will now use the Employment Separation Form in Kuali Build instead of submitting a vacate request in PeopleAdmin. When you receive a resignation or retirement letter, complete the online form and attach the letter as documentation.
- Current Process: Submit vacate request in PeopleAdmin with attached letter.
- New Process: Complete the Employee Separation Form in Kuali Build with attached letter.
Benefits: This change enables faster communication with departing employees, immediate supervisor notification and more efficient processing across HR units. The vacate will be automatically processed in PeopleAdmin when the position is updated in the HR system.
Note: Civil Service employees currently resign directly with HR using the Employment Separation Form. This process remains the same, but the form has been transferred to Kuali and combined with the faculty/SPS form for streamlined reporting of all employee separations.
