Leaving functions

Current guidelines

The current guidelines on hospitality to mark the retirement or resignation of professional services staff working in Professional service divisions are as follows:

For professional services staff a contribution made from School hospitality funds for an event to mark their retirement or resignation will be related to their length of service:

Staff retiring with a minimum of 5 years service £90

Staff resigning with a minimum of 5 years service £70

Staff retiring with a minimum of 10 years service £170

Staff resigning with a minimum of 10 years service £120

For other members of professional services staff who retire or resign within five years of appointment any event to mark their departure is a matter for the division or office concerned.

To confirm you or a member of your team are eligible please email comms.events@lse.ac.uk.

Please note that when you submit your claim to the finance division in order to comply with the School's financial guidelines you will need to provide them with a list of those who attending the leaving function.

Arrangements for leaving functions for all staff (both academic and professional services staff) in academic units (academic departments and research centres) are down to the individual academic unit to arrange and fund.
