How to ...
All separations, including retirements, resignations, transfers, involuntary terminations and ended fixed-term appointments are processed in WorkLion.
When a manager or an employee becomes aware that an individual is leaving his/her position (voluntarily or involuntarily), the separation process must be initiated in WorkLion:
- Go to the WorkLion portal.
- Select “Initiate Separation” from the Manager Tools dropdown menu.
- Complete the form.
- Attach the resignation/retirement letter, for voluntary separations.
- Click Submit.
The hiring manager will receive a request from Shared Services to complete and upload the Separation Checklist.
Please refer to University policy HRG20 Separation and Transfer Protocol for more information.
Policy HR60, Access to Personnel Files, permits reasonable access to the contents of an employee’s personnel file.
A faculty or staff member who wishes to review their personnel file, or any part of that file, may make the request in writing using the Request to Review Personnel File form. A link to download the form can be found on the Penn State policy page.
Your HR Strategic Partner is Jill Curry.
General HR queries can be sent directly to HR Services via WorkLion. Each inquiry is assigned a number so that progress can be tracked online.
- Log in to the WorkLion portal.
- Click Contact Us from the top menu.
- Under Submit an Inquiry, select the topic most closely related to your question from the “I Have a Question About” drop-down menu. Select “General Inquiry” if your topic is not listed. Select a sub-topic (or N/A) from the “Specifically” drop-down menu.
- In the Inquiry Details field, enter your question.
- Upload supporting documents, if desired.
- Hit Submit Request.
You will receive an email from the WorkLion team when the inquiry has been received. A separate email will follow with an answer to your question (or requesting more information).
Updating your office address and/or phone number in the Penn State Directory is easy.
Are you are changing buildings? Moving your office just down the hall? Transferring into the College of Medicine? If so, then you’ll want to make sure the Penn State Directory reflects your most current information.
Submit a WorkLion inquiry to initiate the process:
- Go to the WorkLion portal.
- Click Contact Us .
- Under Submit an Inquiry, select “General Inquiry” from the first drop-down menu.
- In the Inquiry Details field, enter the following information:
- your 9-digit Penn State ID number
- your full name
- your most recent office address: room number and building**
- your most recent office phone number with area code
- how you want your information to appear in the directory
- “Do not print in directory.”
- “Print office address and phone information only.”
- “Print both office and home addresses and phone numbers.”
**If your new address is in Hershey, indicate the location in place of the building (e.g., Academic Support Building, Hershey, Pa.; College of Medicine, 3rd Floor, C316, Hershey, Pa.).
