Involuntary Termination

A staff member is subject to discharge if his or her performance or conduct is not satisfactory or violates the policies and procedures of the college. Ordinarily, the determination to terminate is made by the supervisor in consultation with department head, divisional vice president and the director of human resources. Calvin College is an at-will employer, meaning that any staff member may terminate his or her employment at any time, with or without cause, and Calvin College reserves the same right, subject to its obligation to comply with the policies and procedures of Calvin College . Pay for two weeks may be given in lieu of notice. Staff members will be compensated for accrued vacation and for wages earned to date of termination. Involuntary terminations are subject to Appendix B: Problem Review and Grievance Procedure.
