Student Employee Terminations & Resignations

Terminations

ALL terminations must be processed in EBS.
A termination reason and last day worked is required when terminating a student in EBS.
Terminations require approval from MSU Student Employment.
Departments should provide at least one week's notice prior to releasing students from their work, except in cases of flagrant, willful violation of University rules.
The period of employment is considered for the duration of a semester, although employment may carry over from one semester to another. The decision to continue employing a student from semester to semester is the sole prerogative of the employer.
Termination is warranted for reason of budget constraints, completion of a project, lack of work, or other such valid reasons unrelated to job performance. In these instances, employers should provide the student with information at least one week prior to the termination date.
Termination without warning is warranted for grossly poor work performance or attendance, as well as clearly improper conduct (i.e. theft, physical abuse of others, falsification of records). See Rules Governing Personal Conduct of Employees.

Resignations

Student employees should give at least one week's notice to their employer when resigning from a University position. All University properties such as keys, uniforms, and tools must be returned to employers.
Procedures for processing resignations are handled the same as terminations.
