This section of the book is focused on processing employee terminations at Indiana University.

Processing employee terminations is a critical function within payroll that requires careful attention to detail, accuracy, and adherence to legal and regulatory requirements. Whether an employee leaves voluntarily or involuntarily, payroll professionals at IU must ensure that final pay is calculated correctly, including earned wages, unused leave, severance, and any applicable deductions. Additionally, terminations often trigger legal obligations related to final pay deadlines, benefit continuations, and tax reporting. Understanding how to manage terminations properly is essential not only for ensuring regulatory compliance, but also for maintaining the integrity of financial records and supporting the offboarding process.
