- CUPE 2950: 10 working days
- CUPE 116 (Regular employees): One month
- CUPE 116 (All other employees with three months continuous service or more): One week

Unused vacation
If you have unused accumulated vacation when you leave UBC, you'll be paid for it on your last paycheque. For more information, contact your administrator, or review your employee group’s handbook or agreement.
Benefits and pension
Take care of any outstanding benefits claims and familiarize yourself with what happens to your benefits, including life insurance, when you leave the university.
If you leave UBC for any reason after age 55, you may be eligible for retirement and survivor benefits.
