• 100% of accrued and unused Short-Term Bank hours are viable if a staff member’s service is one year or more.

Final Paycheck and Deductions

The final check will be deposited in the staff member’s designated bank account or sent to his or her last stated home address on the next scheduled payday.

Upon termination, a staff member’s final wages are subject to all involuntary deductions established and to all voluntary deductions authorized by the staff member.

The staff member may direct that voluntary deductions (such as parking fees) not be made from his or her final paycheck by the timely completion and signing of an authorization that deletes deductions. This form for this authorization can be obtained by contacting the Benefits Office. The deletion of voluntary deductions is the sole responsibility of the staff member. If the staff member does not initiate action to delete any or all voluntary deductions, those deductions will be taken from the final paycheck. In the case of deletion, any contribution normally made by Duke in the affected category will not be made.

Return of Duke Property

All work-related equipment should be returned to the supervisor by the staff member’s last day of work. These items include – but are not limited to – tools, identification badges, procurement cards, cell phones, pagers, keys, computer equipment, etc.
