Retirement Recognition
<\/h1>\n \n
\n\n \n

When an Administrative Operations (AO) employee retires, administrative assistants and managers need to take the appropriate steps to help recognize the retiring employee.

Any Purdue employee who will become an official Purdue retiree is eligible to receive this level of recognition. The official Purdue University retiree definition can be found on the University Policy Office website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

The form will automatically be sent to the administrative assistant and HR business partner<\/a> who supports the employee’s department, as well as the designated financial analyst<\/a> from the Administrative Operations Business Office (AOBO).<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Reception and Plaque<\/h3>\n\n

AOBO allots $100 to help cover the cost of a retirement reception and pays the cost of a plaque for the retiree. The administrative assistant will work with the financial analyst from the business office on any necessary expenses.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The employee\u2019s manager should check with the employee for their approval to organize a retirement reception in their honor. If the employee approves, the administrative assistant will work on the invitation list and reception logistics, including location, refreshments and other details. Retirement reception requests require a two weeks\u2019 notice. Any receptions taking place with less than a two weeks\u2019 notice will be the responsibility of the manager to organize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contact Awards Unlimited to order the plaque. Plaque requests also require a two weeks\u2019 notice.<\/p>\n\n\n
