Checklist for Ending UW Employment
Below is a guidance checklist for employees, supervisors and JISAO administration to follow when someone is
resigning or retiring from their JISAO/UW position.
___Meet with your supervisor to discuss your departure. Determine what the last date of employment will be,
remembering to include planned vacation days to be taken before separation date.

assistance in your absence.
