When an appointee leaves Yale, please ensure that both the position and the academic appointment are terminated in Workday. Begin by terminating the position, as this action will automatically initiate the end of the academic appointment.
For the latest versions of relevant guides, visit Workday @ Yale Training.
Laboratory Associates and Visiting Fellows
Use the Workday Termination of Employees and Contingent Workers guide to terminate the position and appointment for a Laboratory Associate or Visiting Fellow.
Postdoctoral and Postgraduate appointees
To terminate the position and appointment for a postdoctoral or postgraduate appointment, please use the Workday Termination/Separation: Employee (Academic) guide.
Important Notes - Appointees who resign prior to a scheduled appointment end date must provide their department with written notice, which should be forwarded to postdoc.affairs@yale.edu before the termination is processed in Workday.
Terminations prior to the end date may occur due to poor performance or loss of funding, with each case being handled individually.
*Note: A postdoc or postgrad in their first year of appointment may not be terminated for financial reasons.
