There are two types of terminations:

  1. Voluntary: APS will consider you to have voluntarily terminated your employment if you:
    • Resign from APS
      A letter of resignation from your employment with APS must be given to your immediate supervisor with a copy to the Human Resources Department. In some cases a verbal resignation or other form of communication will be accepted.
    • Retire from APS
      A letter of retirement must be sent to the Superintendent with a copy to your supervisor and the Human Resources Department.

  • APS may discharge you from your employment for poor performance, misconduct, excessive absences, tardiness, discrimination or other violations of APS policies. If your employment is at will, you or APS may terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any or no reason.

You will be responsible for any lost or damaged items. The value of property issued and not returned may be deducted from your paycheck. You may be required to sign a wage deduction authorization form for this purpose.
