Dear Employee name:

It is with a deep sense of regret that I must inform you that your position as ______will be eliminated effective ______. This action is a result of (insert reason: ex/ lack of funding, reorganization, decreased work volume, business needs, etc).

University policy provides that a staff member terminated because of an abolishment of his or her position is to be given 30 calendar days written notice. The last day of your employment will be INSERT DATE. At termination, you will receive pay for unused vacation. During this notice period, normal pay and benefits will remain unchanged. I expect that you will continue to report to work, focusing on those projects as assigned through INSERT DATE. Throughout this period, I will work with you to make reasonable schedule accommodations to assist your job search and interviewing schedule. In addition, I may also provide a reference letter, as needed, to assist you in your search for a new position.

If you are re-hired within 12 months following this reduction in force, you will automatically be enrolled in the Choices Program benefit plans, except for Flexible Spending Accounts, that were in place prior to your termination. You can also make new elections upon rehire. Additionally, any service related benefits will be reinstated which include sick accrual, university employment date and service in the retirement plan(s). Going forward, your benefits will be based on your new status and position.
