Termination Protocol

The student employee supervisor from the hiring department must contact Cynthia Meekins, Director for Student Employment, at 848/932-2651 or at cmeekins@rci.rutgers.edu, to discuss the terms of the termination. 

The student employee supervisor must send the terminated student a formal email message to the student’s Eden email account informing the student that he or she has been terminated.

• The termination message must include specific reasons for termination that clarify ways in which the student did not fulfill the responsibilities of the job.
• Be sure to include dates, times and other information that supports the need for termination.
• Inform the student that he or she is required to contact Cynthia Meekins, Director for Student Employment, at cmeekins@rci.rutgers.edu to schedule a formal appointment for termination counseling.
• Do not suggest to the student that he or she will automatically be placed in another FWSP job.  Placement in another FWSP job is contingent upon the offense that lead to the termination, as well as the outcome of the termination counseling session.   
• Copy Cynthia Meekins on the formal email message.

Prior to sending the formal email message, it is advisable for the student employee supervisor to inform the student that he or she has been terminated by way of phone or in-person meeting. 

For violations to the Code of Student Conduct, such as theft, forgery, or any other potentially separable offense, and for violations to a signed Statement of Confidentiality, employers are asked to contact Cynthia Meekins immediately at 848/932-2651.
