Exit Interview

The department may use the exit transfer/separation checklist form or a checklist of its devising to comply with this policy.

Exit Checklist

The exit checklist will help document the property issued to an employee during his or her employment in a department of the University of Missouri. At the time of transfer or separation, the exit checklist will serve as a reminder of the property that needs to be returned.

  • This checklist should be maintained in departmental files until an employee transfers or separates from the University.
  • When an employee transfers or separates from the University, the complete checklist should be sent to Human Resources Services (MU), Parking Structure #7, 1095 Virginia Ave., Rm. 101, for filing in the employee’s official personnel file.
