Moving On From the University

Moving On

As part of DCU's Strategic Plan 2017-2022, the strategic goal to Value and Develop our Staff Community underpins our work in Human Resources. However, should your time at DCU be coming to an end we are here to support you through this transition. We have highlighted some supports and resources available to you.

DCU Leavers Procedure and Form

This Leavers Procedure provides important information for those leaving the University and their manager. The Leaver form must be completed by the employee and their manager and returned to the relevant HR Business Partner.

Annual Leave

Should you have outstanding accrued annual leave, please liaise with your Line Manager to confirm the details. Following the approval of your Line Manager, payment for accrued leave will be notified to the HR Department, via the DCU Leaver Form, and included in your final payment from the University.

Pension

If you are a member of the DCU Pension Scheme, you should contact our Pension's team at pensions@dcu.ie regarding the options available to you. Full details of our pension scheme can be found on the Pensions office website.

If you have less than 2 years of pensionable service you may be entitled to a refund of your pension contributions and pension levy. If you are leaving Ireland, please note that pension refunds can only be paid by credit transfer to a bank account in Ireland. Find out more here.

Revenue

To access your personal information regarding tax, please visit the Revenue website and follow the instructions under PAYE modernisation for employees (this replaces the old P.45 document )

Additional Information

Please return your ID card and any other University property that is in your possession to your Line Manager on or before your last day of work.
