Columbia Resignation ordinance (§ 19-202)

All permanent employees are expected to give at least ten (10) working days' notice prior to the effective date of resignation in order to leave city service in good standing (thirty (30) calendar days for professional and supervisory employees), unless other arrangements are recommended by the department head and approved by the director. Less than the established notice shall require forfeiture of accrued vacation and floating holiday leave payment if the employee is eligible for such payment. Not leaving city service in good standing may be considered just cause for disqualification for future reemployment.
