(1) Employees are requested to give at least two weeks’ written notice of their resignation. The appropriate Chief Executive Team member and department managers shall give at least 30 days’ notice of resignation. Resignation letters shall be submitted to, and accepted by, the employee’s immediate supervisor.

(2) When an employee gives written notification of their resignation, the Tribe will not be obligated to accept a subsequent withdrawal of the written resignation. It is at the discretion of the employee’s supervisor and the appropriate Chief Executive Team member to approve a request from the employee to withdraw their resignation.

(3) The supervisor shall ensure that keys, equipment, and other Tribal property have been returned by the employee and shall notify the Accounting Department to facilitate the calculation of the employee’s final paycheck. The Accounting Department will ensure advances have been collected and/or accounted for, annual leave has been calculated, and any amounts due the Samish Indian Nation have been withheld from the final payroll check prior to issuance. Refusal to return Tribal property will result in the value of the property and incidental expenses being deducted from the employee’s final paycheck; provided, that the Tribe may demand that the property itself be returned to the Tribe.
