Retirement Gift Process

The retirement gift process includes consultation with UM System Benefits, processing a retirement ePAF, completing the Retirement Gift Form, and ordering gifts (a custom plaque and a $100 gift card) through Shared Services.

Retirement Gift Process

When an employee retires, follow these steps to process their retirement gifts:

1. Retirement Approval

• The retiring employee meets with UM System Benefits for retirement consultation and approval.
• Once approved, a retirement ePAF (Electronic Personnel Action Form) will be processed.

2. Contact and Form Submission

• Shared Services will contact the retiring employee’s department.
• Shared Services will send a Retirement Gift Form to the department for completion.

3. Form Completion and Gift Ordering

• The department completes the Retirement Gift Form and returns it to Shared Services.
• Shared Services will order the retirement gifts, which include:

      • Custom Plaque

      • Gift Card

Important Notes

Timely Action: Ensure the Retirement Gift Form is completed and returned promptly to avoid delays in processing.

Gift Delivery: Gifts will be ordered and delivered according to the timeline provided by Shared Services.
