ON LAST DAY:
□ Collect University property: Sun Card, Diners Club Card, P-card, keys, cell phone/Blackberry/pager, laptop, etc.
o If the employee does not return their keys, the department can charge them for the cost of re-keying the locks. If you notify the employee of this prior to re-keying, they usually are able to return their keys and re-keying is not necessary.
o ***Please note that if the employee has any outstanding items to return, we cannot withhold their check, but we can bill them.
□ If the employee has a P-card, contact the P-card office to cancel (purchweb@asu.edu), even if they return the card.
□ Direct the employee to Parking Services ((480) 965-6124) to return parking decal and gate/key cards.
□ If employee has additional deductions such as season tickets, mortgage, etc., inform them they will have to make alternative arrangements for payment through the Employee Service Center (480-965-2701).
□ What information can the employee prepare to take with them? Manager needs to review items with them to determine what is appropriate to have copied.
□ How will e-mail be handled*:
o Employee to put “Out of Office” function on and note referring to appropriate department contact with contact information
o Employee to forward e-mail to a particular party
o Employee to assign delegate(s) – in option menu so others can view/respond to email
□ How will phone be handled*:
o Employee to leave out going message referring calls to particular person and stating Voice Mail (VM) will not be checked
o Employee to forward phone to another person and/or number
o Phone to be disconnected with standard message referring callers to another number
*Usually the VM and e-mail messages are similar and very short and simple, such as, “Thank you for contacting the College/Department Name, I am currently out of the office without access to VM or email. Please contact Contact Name, at phone # or email address, for assistance. Thank you.”
□ How will their mail be handled
o Who will decide what to forward to employee vs. another staff member
o How often will mail be forwarded – as it comes in, once a week in a package, etc.
o All mail to go to the manager?
□ Meet with staff to inform who is handling what duties/responsibilities to ensure duties are covered and staff are able to respond to inquiries appropriately.
□ If the employee has significant contacts/relationships with customers outside of the department, determine what information they need and create appropriate correspondence to communicate as necessary regarding new contact for service. Usually this is very simple such as Employee, who was responsible for XXX is no longer with us and these responsibilities are being reassigned to Specified Employee, and their contact information, as well as any additional department contact, if appropriate, if they should have any questions.
