Hourly employees are employed at the sole discretion of the employing department and may be released from employment at any time without cause. The Human Resources Administration’s website has extensive information about hourly employee policies available for review.
Resignation
Employees are encouraged to give advance notice of at least two weeks, in writing, when leaving the university or accepting a new position. If a student hourly employee is experiencing challenges with conflict resolution in the workplace, he or she should make an appointment with a student employment consultant to discuss options for resolution before submitting a letter of resignation.
Termination (Involuntary Separation)
No notice period is required when the university separates an hourly employee from employment. If the separation is performance related, there is likely to be a flag on the employee's record that reflects the reason for termination (e.g., attendance, misconduct, unsatisfactory performance). If the reason for termination is determined to be a serious violation of a university policy (e.g., theft, sexual harassment, falsification of time sheet), then the employee's record will be permanently flagged, and the employee will not be eligible for rehire at Indiana University again.
