The Exit Clearance Form is to be completed by the separating employee on or before the last day of employment. The separating employee’s supervisor or department head must certify that University property has been returned.

Employees who do not return University property and resolve pertinent outstanding issues prior to separating employment are subject to the following:
· having an unfavorable separation status
· suspension of any terminal vacation leave due
· unsatisfactory reference information to outside employers
· ineligible for rehire at Western Kentucky University.

Supervisors and department heads are to encourage exiting employees to complete the Exit Interview Questionnaire. The purpose of this Questionnaire is to collect feedback from the employee concerning his/her experiences during employment. At the exiting employee’s request, he/she may arrange for a personal discussion with the Director of Human Resources to communicate any issues related to employment. Information provided by the exiting employee will be used as a management tool when evaluating future policies, procedures and other matters affecting the employee/employer relationship. Employees are not to be adversely affected or retaliated against because of any information provided in the Exit Interview Questionnaire or in any discussions with the Director of Human Resources. Exit Interview Questionnaires will be maintained in a separate file and will not become a part of any employee’s official personnel file.
