    • Step 4-7 - Returning the Photo Identification (ID) Card / Access Cards/Keys

      Managers are required to ensure that the Photo ID, access cards and control keys of the departing employee are collected and returned to the appropriate/identified responsible authority (e.g. all Photo ID cards returned to the Regional Security Office (RSO); the access card and keys returned to the issuance office (e.g. on-site management).

      If the employee's Home manager cannot retrieve the Photo ID, access card(s) or keys directly from the employee (e.g. employee and manager located in separate locations), the Home manager can make arrangements with a Host manager, from that site, to retrieve the items from the employee and confirm by email to the Home manager when this is complete. (Note: The Home manager is still responsible for returning these items to the appropriate issuance office.)

    Once you have completed all of the Cost Centre Checklist items, you must enter a Cost Centre Manager's comment which is used to capture additional information with regard to the request. For example: if you were unable to scan and attach any of the requested documentation you can indicate that you have mailed the documents, or add a general comment to indicate that all necessary steps have been completed.

    You are now ready to submit the Separation Clearance form to the Enabling Services Branches for processing.
