SUBJECT:     New RCUH Severance Policy for Multi-Year Competitive Agreements and Related Separation Agreement

 

Effective January 25, 2011, the RCUH established a new RCUH Severance Policy for Multi-Year Competitive Agreement-Funded Projects and a related Severance Pay & Separation Agreement (Attachment #1 and #2). This policy will be restricted to only employees of Multi-Year Agreement-Funded positions (i.e., Maui High Performance Computing Center).  Most of the RCUH positions are funded by federal grants or direct contracts with agencies (i.e., State of Hawaii).  Therefore, the number of employees that would be eligible for this severance allowance would be a limited number of employees in the RCUH workforce.  The RCUH Severance Policy for Multi-Year Competitive Agreement-Funded Projects and a related Severance Pay & Separation Agreement are based on severance policies in the general industry. 

 

The RCUH Severance Policy for Multi-Year Competitive Agreement-Funded Projects and the related Severance Payment and Separation Agreement are included as an Addendum the RCUH Policy #3.285 Termination of Employment.  This Addendum can be found on the RCUH website (www.rcuh.com).
