Exit Interview Required for all Employees Leaving the University

Please be aware that all employees leaving the employ of the University of Cincinnati must complete an exit interview. When employees leave the university without completing the exit process, it will affect the employee’s final paycheck.

The required exit process includes an exit interview with the Human Resources Service Center on or before the last day of work.  This interview includes the completion of a clearance form to make sure that all University property including ID card, uniforms, keys, parking decal, and so forth have been turned in.  Interviews are by appointment only.

The employee’s final paycheck is released on the next scheduled payroll date following the processing of the separation; ordinarily, any vacation and sick payouts the employee has earned will be paid on the following pay period.  However, if the exit interview is not completed by the last day of work, the vacation and sick payouts will be deferred until the second payroll following the final paycheck in order to assure that we are able to retrieve any University property the employee may still have.  This may mean that the employee may need to wait up to two pay periods to receive vacation/sick payouts.  Please note that, at the present time, an employee’s access to the Employee Self-Service (ESS) component of UC Flex is discontinued as of the date of the employee’s separation.  Employees who require on-line pay advices from ESS are encouraged to print hard copies in advance of their separation date.

In order to avoid inconvenience to departing employees, please be sure to inform them about the importance of the exit interview.

Any questions regarding the exit process should be directed to Alecia Trammer at 513-556-1225.
