Leaving HSHS 

HSHS has created the HSHS Offboarding portal to assist you with common questions you may have as you leave employment with HSHS. If you have any questions that you are not able to find within this portal, our HSHS HR Team is here to assist you. You can reach one of our HR Representatives at the HR Service Center directly at 1-855-394-4747 or at MyHR@hshs.org.

Submitting a Resignation

In the event you decide to leave HSHS, you should submit a written notice to your leader as soon as a decision to leave is made. The notice should reflect the last day of work and reason for separation.

HSHS requests a one month written notice for any leader, salaried and/or licensed professional. A
two-week written notice is expected for all other colleagues. HSHS reserves the right to accelerate a colleague’s departure at its discretion and will pay the colleague through the notice period. Paid Time Off (PTO) hours may not be utilized as notice of termination. The termination date will be the colleague's last day of work.

If you are retiring and have questions regarding your HSHS Pension benefit(s) or would like to begin receiving your benefit, please reach out to the HSHS Pension Service Center at 1-855-394-4747 (Option #1).

Separating from employment based on retirement will require you to remain in retirement for at least 3 months before being considered for rehiring purposes.
