OKDHS:2-1-4. Voluntary Separation

Revised 5-31-23

(a) Upon receiving notice of an employee leaving Oklahoma Human Services (OKDHS) employment, Human Resource Management (HRM) approves the separation in the system. 

(b) OKDHS employees pending voluntary separation from OKDHS may not take more than 80 hours of Annual Leave during their final month of employment with OKDHS unless approved by the division director or designee.  The reasons for this specific exception to the general process regarding approval of Annual Leave in OKDHS:2-1-35 are to ensure an adequate knowledge transfer from the separating employees to other employees which will help facilitate continuity of operation and additional business needs of OKDHS.
