Leaving Employment

Employee Exit Guide and Exit Class

When you are leaving employment with King County, you may find it useful to review Continuing Your County Benefits and the Employee Exit Guide, which explains:

• COBRA and retiree medical options
• What you need to know about the County's Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association
• The tasks you need to complete when leaving county employment
• How your final paycheck and W-2 form are processed
• What to do with your state retirement and deferred compensation funds.

The guide also includes a Leaving County Employment form for informing Benefits, Payroll and Retirement Operations that you're leaving.

For additional information, attend an Exit Class on the last Tuesday of any month, 1 p.m. – 2:30 p.m., in Conference Room 121 on the first floor of The Chinook Building, 401 Fifth Ave. (Fifth Avenue and Jefferson Street), Seattle. To enroll, email kc.orientations@kingcounty.gov.
