Exiting Employment
Information for Employees
If you are resigning your position with the university, you should indicate this in writing to your supervisor, giving your expected last day of work. Two weeks' notice is a standard expectation for resignation, but is not a requirement.
The links below provide information on various topics of interest for employees who are separating their employment from the university as well as for supervisors of employees who are leaving.
Exit Survey
Employees should expect to receive an online Exit Survey via email, by their last day worked, to the email(s) they have on file.
Although the Employee Exit Survey is optional, employees are strongly encouraged to participate. Responses are anonymous and any information, such as college and department data, are asked for reporting purposes only and will be used in aggregate. Your accurate and honest feedback is appreciated and valued, as this survey is an opportunity to provide information that may assist in making the University a great place to work.
The Exit Survey is administered by Tampa Central Human Resources, ±«Óãtv Health, HR at the St. Petersburg Campus & HR at the Sarasota-Manatee Campus.
If you have separated from the University and you have not received an email to participate in the Employee Exit Survey, please contact employee-relations@usf.edu.

Unemployment
University employees are covered by Florida unemployment compensation law, in accordance with Chapter 443 of the Florida Statutes. Florida's Unemployment Compensation program, also referred to as unemployment compensation insurance, for which the university makes contributions, provides temporary wage replacement benefits to qualified individuals who are out of work through no fault of their own and who are able and available to work.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
An individual who becomes unemployed or partially unemployed can file a claim. Two determinations are made to establish eligibility for benefits:
- The individual must have had sufficient work and earnings in Florida to establish a monetarily eligible claim. However, a monetarily eligible claim does not necessarily mean that the individual will be eligible to receive benefits.
- The individual's reasons for separation from previous employment as well as other eligibility requirements are examined to determine if the individual will receive benefits.
- Determinations concerning eligibility for benefits can only be made after a claim is filed, since facts must be obtained from a claimant's previous employers concerning these issues.
Human Resources does not make determinations of eligibility for unemployment compensation, but does respond to requests for information on a claimant's previous employment with the university, earnings while employed, and the reason for separation from the university.
CLAIMS INFORMATION
The State of Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation is responsible for administering Florida's Unemployment Compensation program. Information on this program can be obtained from the or by calling 1-800-204-2418.
