• whilst the employee may be leaving the University it is important to ensure a positive relationship remains in place where possible. This could have an impact on the University reputation as an employer and partnerships , and they may return in the future
• from a legal perspective there are various considerations e.g. data security
• to avoid issues with payroll e.g. overpayments, P45.
