Procedure: Re-entry to the University following retirement or redundancy
Purpose
To outline the procedures involved in the re-entry to the University following retirement or redundancy.
Procedure
- Staff will from time to time cease employment with the University as a result of early retirement or redundancy.
- Such departures may be subject to concessional taxation arrangements. Staff who retire with superannuation entitlements are also subject to the provisions of the relevant superannuation fund regarding any restrictions on future employment.
- Staff therefore should have no expectation of future paid re-engagement by the University after they cease employment. No arrangements for future re-engagement should be entered into at the time of departure.
- A staff member who has separated from the University as a result of early retirement or redundancy and agreed is required to seek written approval from the Chief People Officer prior to seeking or accepting any form of employment or paid engagement at the University for a period of two (2) years after the cessation date.
- Any application of a staff member who applies for a position during this time may proceed on advice from the Chief People Officer, who will consider whether there has been a significant change in circumstances, including whether the staff member is carrying out different duties or applying for a position for a limited period (i.e., a casual or fixed term appointment).
- Staff member is responsible for understanding any taxation implications which may arise as a result of re-entry to the University following retirement or redundancy.
