Payroll & Compensation
Separation & Clearance Process
As faculty and staff end their university employment‚ department managers/supervisors are required to notify certain campus departments of the employee’s departure. Additionally‚ to ensure that SDSU is in compliance with the California State Administrative Manual and CSU Directive HR-2002-31‚ it is important that the separation and clearance process be completed for the following employees:
- Staff
- Faculty (temporary‚ tenure-track‚ tenured)
- Teaching Associates
- Graduate Assistants
- Instructional Student Assistants
The Process
The clearance process ensures that all employees who are leaving the university return university property, keys, and building access control cards, on or before their last day of employment.
