EDB Staff Section D10, SEPR - Separation Bundle

When an employee terminates all University employment, the EDB preparer must always process the separation in a timely manner using the separation bundle. The separation must be processed even when an employee is going to be rehired immediately following a separation. The Campus or Healthcare Human Resources Employee Relations Office must be consulted prior to entry of employee terminations other than voluntary resignations to ensure that all procedural requirements have been met.

ESEP - Separation Data
Field	Data Information
Last Day on Pay Status	Enter the last day the employee is to receive compensation for time worked or on paid leave. All salary terminates on this day and is normally the last day the employee is at work. The last day worked is entered on the Unemployment Insurance Termination Report form (U5602).
Separation Date	Enter the date on which the separation is effective. This date is normally the same as the last day on pay status. This date may differ from the last day on pay status for an employee who is on a leave of absence without pay and decides not to return to work. The separation date would then be the date the employee notifies the department of his/her decision to resign. The separation date automatically generates a “Coverage End Date” for medical, dental, vision and legal plans, which discontinues the transmission of premiums to insurance carriers at the appropriate time.
Reason	Enter the code that represents the reason for the separation. The reasons for separation are also contained on the Unemployment Insurance Termination Report form (U5602). The reason code entered in this field must be the same as the reason code checked off on the Unemployment Insurance Termination Report form. This form MUST be completed and sent to Payroll Services.
Destination	Enter the code that represents the employee's destination following UC employment.
Future Institution Code	USED FOR ACADEMIC SEPARATIONS ONLY - This field is not completed for Staff Separations.
Intercampus Transfer	This field is used only when the employee is transferring to another UC campus and there is no break-in-service. Enter the Personnel Action Code that will establish the action as an intercampus transfer. For example, Personnel Action Code 21 is Intercampus Transfer. Refer to the General Information Section B9 for outgoing transfers from UCLA to another UC campus or laboratory.

Field	Data Information

HCRA Annual, Monthly, Eff Date, Term Date	Do not enter data in these fields. A termination date is automatically generated and assigned to the Term Date field based on the separation date that is entered in the Separation Date field on the ESEP screen. A COBRA notice for HCRA is generated by the HCRA administrator and mailed to the participant after the Term Date is transmitted.
Voluntary Contribution Amount/Percent Decl Balance, Eff Date	Enter an asterisk () on the first digit of each field that contains data. 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.
