University policy

Applicability

University staff and non-faculty administrators

Advisory Notice

Nothing stated in policy or verbally by any supervisor is intended to create an employment contract or to modify the at-will employment status.

Policy

As at-will employees, university staff and non-faculty administrators may voluntarily terminate their employment at any time and for any reason. Reasons may include resignation for personal or other reasons or retirement.

ASU may also terminate the employment of university staff and non-faculty administrators at any time and for any reason except an unlawful one. Positions filled subject to grant funding or other special funding will terminate when funds are no longer available.

Furthermore, involuntary terminations that occur as a result of the elimination of the position for budgetary or reorganization purposes are subject to the notice provisions of SPP 216, “Layoff for University Staff.” Regardless of reason(s), all involuntary terminations must be approved by the Office of Human Resources and the unit’s dean or vice president.

Cross-Reference

For further information, refer to SPP 216, “Layoff for University Staff.”
