§ 2-111. Resignation.

(a)

For purposes of this article, a resignation shall be defined as a voluntary separation from employment through written notification to the employing authority initiated by the employee.

(b)

All employees desiring to resign their employment with the county shall submit written notification of such intent to their employing authority. This notification shall include the reason for resignation and the actual date and hour the resignation is to become effective, and shall be signed by the employee. A copy of this notification shall be forwarded to the personnel officer for its inclusion in their personnel file.

(c)

It is requested that all employees give at least fourteen (14) calendar days' notice prior to the effective date of resignation, except where specific circumstances prohibit such advance notification. Such resignation may be withdrawn by the employee at any time prior to the effective date with the approval of the department head. Employees who resign shall receive payment for all annual leave for which they are eligible, according to the annual leave policy.

(d)

For those employees who fail to submit the written notification prior to their termination date, the employing authority shall forward a letter by certified mail, return receipt requested, stating it is his understanding that the employee has voluntarily resigned employment. An employee's failure to respond immediately regarding any errors contained within this certified letter shall constitute a valid resignation.
