Separation Notification Requirements
An employee is responsible for providing advance notice and written notification of his/her intent to resign to his/her hiring supervisor as soon as the decision has been made to separate from University employment. The written notification should:
- provide an explanation for the resignation, and
- state the effective date of separation, which is the last day the employee will work.
Reasonable advance notice of resignation for classified employees is at least two weeks or longer for professional level positions. As contractual employees, faculty members should make every effort to give the administration adequate time to find a replacement when they desire to leave Old Dominion University.
For official procedure and supervisor responsibilities, see University Policy 6060.

Exit Interview Process
A two-part exit interview will be arranged by Human Resources before your last day of work. This interview is vital because you can provide important observations about how to enhance the work environment at the University.
- Benefits Team Interview: You will answer questions regarding final pay and continuance or termination of benefits.
- DHRM Interview: You will be sent a link to an online interview allowing the option to confidentially share your experience as an ODU employee.

After the closing date, applicants' credentials are reviewed and evaluated by a Human Resources' staff member, the hiring supervisor, or a selection committee. Based upon this review, applicants are selected for interviews. The department manager and/or the selection committee interview the candidates and select the best qualified applicant. An HR staff member usually notifies the selected candidate by telephone. After a candidate accepts a position, a starting date is established, and they are sent a confirmation letter.
A role change occurs when an employee remains in his/her current position but his or her duties change. The change can be upward, downward or lateral. The appropriate vice president will determine the approval process for all role changes. The approval process will include a classification analysis by Human Resources. See Classified Pay Actions for details and contact Compensation & Classification for questions.
An employee who is rehired into a classified position must serve another probationary period. Salary will be determined by the Starting Pay Guidelines.
