Juilliard requests that employees planning to terminate their employment give as much advance notice as possible. Employees who resign voluntarily must give a minimum of 10 working days' notice in writing to their Department Head, with a copy to the Department of Human Resources, in order to receive payment for accrued, but unused vacation time. Employees who resign or are terminated by Juilliard will receive pay for accrued vacation if they have been at Juilliard for more than six months. Employees terminated by Juilliard will be given at least two weeks' notice of such termination, or pay in lieu of notice, except in cases where gross misconduct requires immediate dismissal.
