DISCIPLINE AND DISCHARGE

Central Michigan University respects and honors the right of each person to terminate his or her employment at any time and for any reason, and because students are "at will" employees, the University retains the same right in terminating the employment of a student at any time.

On campus student employment jobs are meant to assist students with their financial needs and provide hands-on work experience that will compliment their educational training. Departments are encouraged to communicate to their student employee's actions that are not acceptable with current department policies.

Disciplinary problems and violation of rules will be dealt with according to the situation and the work record of the employee in compliance with applicable laws. The use of a Counseling Form is encouraged to help correct or improve job-related performance. If a department has a disciplinary termination of an employee, they should contact the Student Employment Office.

If discharge is necessary, supervisors are responsible for completing a Termination Notice and forwarding it to Student Employment Services. All University property such as keys, uniforms, and tools must be returned to supervisors before final paychecks are issued.
