Exit Procedures
PURPOSE:
To update employee records, clear holds, and release paychecks.

OVERVIEW:
When a salaried temporary employee leaves UTPA certain exit procedures are begun.  These exit procedures ensure that:

  • an employee's records are updated
  • no outstanding 'holds' exist (i.e., computer access, university credit cards, etc.)
  • employee receives final paycheck

Sometimes exit procedures are begun automatically, and sometimes they require an official Termination Notice (see Termination Notice processes for Salaried and Direct Wage Employees).

Exit Procedures are invoked for all employees except regular (permanent), salaried, full-time faculty and staff of UTPA.

For information on the exiting processes for regular, full-time employees, see the Termination Notice (Salaried) Employee process.

The following Exit Procedures Process will guide you through the steps a terminating employee must take before receiving their final paycheck.

Procedure 1:
Confirm Termination

Procedure 2:
