Don’t Leave, But If You Go, Kindly Use the Departing Researcher Checklist

An updated Departing Researcher Checklist is now available on HRM’s Employee Lifecycle webpage under the Offboard/Separation tab. This checklist is meant to serve as a supplementary resource for departing researchers and their units to provide guidance on making appropriate arrangements for the orderly transition of research activities. It does not replace HRM’s Employee Exit Checklist or Department Exit Checklist.
