The JMU Human Resources office considers retirement matters confidential. Human Resources does not notify your supervisor or department of your retirement. You are responsible for notifying your supervisor and/or department of your retirement.

While there is no policy* that requires you to give a certain amount of notice prior to retiring, it is advisable to give your department or supervisor as much notice as possible to allow for adequate recruitment, training/transition time and coverage. *Faculty must give three months notice per Faculty handbook (111.F.1).
