Notices of Termination / Notices of Status Change

The Notices of Termination / Notices of Status Change must be sent to the Academic Personnel Office, the Budget Office, and the Payroll Office to record all academic staff terminations or retirements.

The current paper form has separate colour-coded copies for each office. This form is available from the Payroll Office.

Please send a PDF copy of the completed form for each staff departure to hr [dot] hr [at] mcgill [dot] ca (HR Shared Services) and to the academic [dot] personnel [at] mcgill [dot] ca (Academic Personnel Office). In the latter instance, the APO will forward a copy to the Budget Office.

Departments should always route these forms via the Dean’s office for Faculty approval before sending them to HR or APO.

Departure Types and What Process to Follow

There are several departure types for terminating academic or librarian staff. Please review the Process Page, and after you have done this, send the required documents and/or an email to the Academic Personnel Office.
