2006 Procedures Manual


Termination of Employment:

General Information | Employees Retiring Directly from Active Employment |

General Information back to top

Date of termination and payroll must agree. For example, if a member last worked on October 31, but is not actually terminated from your agency until November, and will not receive a November payroll for the time worked, MOSERS needs a leave of absence form to fill in the gap from the last day worked until the termination date.

If a member receives a payroll after the date of termination, we need a memo or email explaining why he/she received this payroll (pay for work not previously reported, vacation, overtime, etc.) including a breakdown of the various dollar amounts and applicable pay periods. This information is needed for benefit calculation purposes when the member retires.

When a payroll adjustment is sent to our office, please include your agency/fund/appropriation number. This is needed to properly request the appropriation funds from your agency.

If a member terminates employment and has optional life insurance, stop the deduction at the end of the pay period the member terminates employment.

If a member abandons his/her job, please submit a Leave of Absence/Back to Work form for the period between the time payroll runs out and the termination date.

 

Employees Retiring Directly from Active Employment back to top

If you have an employee retiring directly from active employment, complete and submit a Termination of Employment online, or fax the form to MOSERS at (573) 632-6103.

Please submit the employee’s termination form no later than the first week of the month in which they are retiring. As a general rule, we must have all of the employee’s information entered in our system by the 9th of the month in which the employee is retiring. Retirement benefits cannot be verified until we have the employee’s:

  • Date of termination (provided on termination form)
  • Final pay (provided through payroll reports)
  • Unused sick leave balance (provided on SAM II report or termination form)*

*SAM II - If you are under the SAM II payroll system, please do not wait for the unused sick leave balance to complete and send MOSERS the employee’s termination form. We use the unused sick leave amount reported in SAM II.

Other Agencies (Local Payroll) - If you are not under the SAM II payroll system, you should continue to include unused sick leave balances on the employee’s termination form (even if the amount is “0”). These agencies include: House of Representatives, Senate, Legislative Research, Missouri Housing Development Commission, MCHCP, EIERA, Court of Appeals, and all regional colleges/universities.

Termination of Employment

  • The termination date in “Section B” is the last day a person was considered an employee by the agency. This person should not appear on the payroll coded for retirement or insurance after the date of termination.

  • If you are aware of a member’s new address, please put it on the termination form.

  • Do not use this form if the member only wants to terminate optional life insurance coverage. Submit the Enrollment/Change - Optional Life Insurance form instead.

  • For agencies that do not report sick leave in SAM II, unused sick leave should be reported in hours only (not days). If the employee has no sick leave, please enter “0.” Do not leave blank.
