Section R13-5-801. Resignation or Retirement

A.      Notice of resignation or retirement. An employee shall resign or retire from the agency by submitting a letter addressed to the agency head and stating the effective date of the separa- tion.

B.       Oral resignation or retirement. If an employee resigns or retires orally rather than in writing, the employee’s manager shall document the employee’s stated separation date and for-

ward the notice through the chain-of-command to the agency head.

C.      Abandonment of position. If an employee abandons a position, it shall be deemed to be a voluntary resignation from the agency. The employee’s manager shall document the employee’s failure to show up for work and forward the notice through the chain-of-command to the agency head.

D.      Refusal of resignation. An agency head may refuse to accept a resignation and may dismiss an employee under R13-5- 701(B).

E.       Withdrawal of resignation. An employee may withdraw a res- ignation only by submitting to the agency head a written notice of withdrawal before the employee’s separation date. If a with- drawal is not submitted before the separation date, the resigna- tion is final unless both the agency head and the employee agree to withdraw the resignation.
