termination of employment
resignations
All resignations must be provided in writing, stating the reason for resigning your post.
failure to provide required notice
if you terminate your employment without providing the required period of notice, you may not be entitled to your full termination pay. depending on the terms of your employment contract and any other terms governing your employment relationship, an amount may be withheld from your termination pay that is equivalent to all or part of the notice not provided.
return of employer property
on the termination of your employment, you must return all employer property which is in your possession or for which you have responsibility. failure to return such items within seven days will result in the cost of the items being deducted from any monies outstanding to you.
all employer property should be returned to management.
garden leave
if either you or the employer serves notice on the other to terminate your employment, the Employer may require you to take “garden leave” for all or part of the remaining period of your employment. where garden leave is directed, you will be required to serve your notice period at home and will not undertake any duties relating to your employment.
during any period of garden leave you will continue to receive your full salary and any other contractual benefits.
the employer reserves the right to require you to return to work during any period of garden leave.
you are still engaged as an employee while serving any period of notice on garden leave. as such, unless expressly authorised by the employer, you are not permitted to undertake any secondary employment during this time. further, the employer may require you to return any employer property in your possession while on garden leave.
