Reduction in Force/Reorganization

Periodically it becomes necessary to eliminate regular staff positions to meet organizational needs. When this occurs, Emory strives to handle these matters in a systematic and consistent manner.
Human Resources recommends the department management give the employee a minimum of two weeks advance notice prior to layoff or elimination of a position. The department may provide comparable pay in lieu of notice. In addition, if an employee has completed six months of employment, the employee is paid for any unused vacation up to maximum allowed, and accrued holiday time (but not sick leave nor floating holidays) in the final paycheck.
