Background

• The employee kicks off the offboarding process by sending their supervisor their resignation letter.
• Once the supervisor reviews and approves the resignation letter, they send it to hr@extension.wisc.edu and any other relevant administrative staff.
• ASU Payroll has 5 days from when the employee notifies Extension that they intend to leave to send COBRA information (which is sent by ETF). ETF only sends this information once it is entered into HRS (by ASU). ASU needs to enter it into HRS immediately upon receipt of a resignation. 

Instructions

1. Review the resignation letter to verify that all required information is complete
   • Supervisor
   • Last day of work
   • Last day on payroll
   • Whether or not they are retiring and will be collecting a WRS Annuity
   • Whether or not they are taking a position in another UW institution or State Agency and which one.
2. Sign the resignation letter (can respond if email) and include the following information:
   • Statement of acceptance (e.g. “I accept this retirement/resignation”)
   • Name
   • Title
   • Date of acceptance
3. Send to Extension HR (hr@extension.wisc.edu) and any other relevant administrative staff. They will verify that all resignation letter requirements are documented (and will work with the supervisor if not).
