You may be leaving your post within the Council for a number reasons, be it a resignation, retirement, end of temporary contract, recruited to another post, redundancy. Some of these reasons will need action from yourself to begin the process of the termination of your contract.
What do I need to know?
Where you have been successful in a Recruitment campaign for another post within the Council, you should advise your line manager of this so they are able to advertise the vacancy – do not process this via mySelf as a Resignation, as you will be terminated from the Council entirely. Your transfer from one post to the next will be completed by the Workforce Resourcing Team. Start dates will be organised via Workforce Resourcing to ensure your position is updated in line with agreements made with yourself, the hiring manager and the Team.
Notice periods
Unpromoted and Associated Professionals: 4 working weeks’ notice
Promoted: 8 weeks’ notice of which 4 must be working weeks
What do I need to do?
If you are resigning from your post within NLC or resigning from one of your posts within NLC (should you have multiple positions within the Council), you should process your resignation via mySelf as soon as possible, to ensure your manager actions your resignation request via myTeam before the Payroll Deadline. This will notify the Employee Service Centre (ESC) in time to meet the payroll deadline so that your pay is calculated accurately. You should return your ID and any equipment e.g. laptop, mobile phone etc to your line manager.
Guidance for this process can be found here – ‘mySelf Resignation Process Guide for Employees & Infographic Resignation Process – Employees’.
What does my manager need to do?
After a 48 hour cooling off period from the time of your resignation submission, your manager will receive notification of your resignation request and action the request via myTeam. Please note, they can only process your resignation if the Payrun is open. Your manager will discuss your remaining annual leave entitlement (if app). Once your request has been actioned you will receive a confirmation email. The ESC will also receive notification of your approved resignation and ensure your final pay is calculated accurately. Your manager will also arrange for your access to any IT systems to be ended.
What else do I need to consider/be aware of?
You should inform your manager of your intention to terminate from your post as soon as reasonably possible, to ensure the ESC are notified timeously and that your pay is calculated accurately to avoid any overpayment of your salary. If the resignation is unactioned, this can cause a suspension of your final pay, so it is important that your link in with your manager to ensure this is done ahead of schedule. If there are any problems, these should be raised to the People Helpdesk Team as soon as possible.
