There are several steps that need to be taken when an employee separates from
University service. General information regarding separations applicable
to EDB processing for all employees is provided below as well as an example of
how the data is entered on the screens in the separation bundle. It is
important that departmental personnel involved in the separation process also
consult the appropriate sections of the manuals identified in the steps outlined
below.
The steps in the Separation process are as follows:
B12.1 Entering Data on the Screens in the Separation Bundle
When an employee terminates from UCLA, the EDB preparer must process the separation in EDB using the Separation Bundle (SEPR). The separation should be processed in a timely manner and whenever possible before the pay compute for the employee's final pay period. If the separation is not processed in a timely manner, it can cause problems for the PTR preparer who needs to calculate the employee's final pay including final Terminal Vacation Pay (TVP). It may also result in an overpayment to the terminating employee.
There are six screens in the Separation Bundle. It is important to enter the correct information on each screen in the bundle, following the instructions in either the Academic or Staff Separation section. Note: The screens shown below are for different employees in order to show screens that contain data. When processing a separation, the screens would all be for the same employee and data would be entered or changed if applicable to that particular employee. Not all employees will have benefits that need to be cancelled or have an address that needs to be updated.
Screen #1 - The Separation Screen (ESEP)
On the first screen of the Separation Bundle, enter the employee's last day on pay status and the employee's termination date, which may or may not be the same. Complete the other fields on screen as appropriate. Make sure to enter the correct reason code for the separation.

For faculty and other academic employees, enter the final day on pay status
and termination date in the usual manner. For example, for a 9 over 12
faculty member who is terminating at the end of the winter quarter, the last day
on pay status and termination date should be entered as 02/28/YY even though the
quarter ends in mid-March.

Screen #2 - The Appointments/Distributions Screen (EAPP)
For all terminating employees, it is important to change the appointment and all distribution end dates on the EAPP screen to reflect the employee's final day of employment. For indefinite appointments, enter an asterisk (*) to delete the "I" from the DUR field (Duration of Employment).

Screen #4 - Insurance Enrollment (EINS)
A coverage end date is automatically generated for the employee's Medical, Dental, Vision, and Legal enrollments based on the separation date entered on the ESEP screen so nothing is entered for these plans. For the other plans listed on the bottom portion of the screen (AD&D, etc.), enter an asterisk (*) in the first digit of each highlighted field that contains data.

Screen #5 - Retirement Information (ERET)
A termination date is automatically generated for DepCare and HCRA based on the separation date that is entered on the ESEP screen. For the Voluntary Contribution, you should enter an asterisk (*) in the first position of each field that contains data except for Deduction Number and the system-derived Description field.
Note: For the voluntary contributions, entering an (*) on the ERET screen cancels the voluntary contribution for the employee. If the voluntary contribution is cancelled PRIOR to the compute for the employee's Final Payment, the contributions will NOT be deducted from the employee's Final Payment. Therefore, if the employee wishes to have these contributions taken from the Final Payment, this step should be omitted from the separation process. After the Final Payment is issued to the employee, the preparer should update the ERET screen by entering the asterisk (*) as described above.

Once all the screens in the Separation Bundle have been completed, the EDB
preparer would press "F9" to begin the update process. The Post
Authorization Notification Comments screen would be displayed. The
preparer should enter comments appropriate for the separation.

The EDB preparer should add the PTR preparer as a recipient of the PAN and make sure that the PTR preparer is going to request a rush check for
the payment of the final hours and TVP. If the
separation is being processed due to the death of an employee, Payroll Services
should also be added as a recipient of the PAN. Note: For Medical Center
departments - the PTR preparers already receive a copy of the PAN so it
is not necessary to add them as a recipient of the PAN.

After adding the email address for the PTR preparer, the EDB preparer should
press the enter key to verify that the PTR preparer's email address is correct
and in the PAN directory. Once the comments have been entered and the PTR preparer's
email address has been verified, the EDB preparer would press the "F9" key one more time to complete the
action and update the employee record on the EDB.
B12.2 Samples of Forms Submitted at the Time of Separation
As outlined above, separating employees should cancel all deductions including credit union, parking, vanpool, etc. Samples of a completed Unemployment Insurance Termination Report and a completed Parking Cancellation form are shown below as examples.
Unemployment Insurance Termination Report
All employees except those with a one-day break in service need to complete an Unemployment Insurance Termination Report and forward it directly to the Unemployment Insurance Coordinator in Payroll Services. The information on the completed form should be exactly the same information entered in the Separation bundle in EDB. A sample of a completed form is shown below.
Parking Deductions Cancellation
All employees with Payroll deductions for parking need to complete a Parking Services Payroll Deductions Cancellation form and forward it directly to the Parking office. Employee payroll deductions for parking will not end until the cancellation form is processed by Parking Services. Turning in parking decals and parking passes is NOT sufficient to cancel payroll parking deductions.
If the parking deductions are not canceled properly and if there is no current employee payroll check to deduct the money from, the parking system will continue to keep track of each parking deduction owed by the employee and apply all deductions against the employee’s next payroll check. This is true even if the employee separates and later returns to the university as a re-hire.
A sample of the cancellation form is shown below.
B12.3 Separation
Forms on the Web
Many of the required forms are available (or can be ordered) on the web from one of the following sources:
B12.4 Separating Alien Employees
Employees who are non-US citizens who separate from UCLA to return to their own country may not be able to easily cash a US check in their own country. Early release paychecks can be requested for employees in this situation.
After the request has been approved, Payroll Services will generally release a check on the employee’s last day of work.
