Illinois (ECWd) –
Once again, we want the public’s input on a matter.
Scenario 1:
You have been told the following on January 11, 2023:
- The board is going to recommend that you be terminated at the January 16, 2023, meeting.
- Do you want your employment to end through a resignation rather than termination?
- At this time, take no other action as a city employee. You will receive payment through at least January 16, 2023.
- During your leave, return city property, equipment or keys to your department as soon as possible.
It is our opinion that the person is on leave (“During your leave“) and will be paid through at least January 16, 2023, a date that may result in his termination.
Scenario 2:
- The board is going to recommend that you be terminated at the January 16, 2023, meeting.
- Do you want your employment to end through a resignation rather than termination?
- At this time, take no other action as a city employee. You will receive payment through at least January 16, 2023.
- During your leave, return city property, equipment or keys to your department as soon as possible.
- Employee submits a resignation, effective immediately, on January 12, 2023.
Our question for the public:
When does the employee’s pay stop in Scenario 2?
Please post your response in the comment section.
Thanks!

I would say actual pay would stop on 1/12. However the employee should be paid for addition vacation, sick days if it is stated so within the employment contract and any other contractual obligations.
My first thought is January 12th. There is no mention of accrued sick time or vacation or PTO time. THAT could affect how long they got paid for possibly.
