DO NOT CLOSE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT until your last paycheck has cleared. End-of-June paychecks will be direct deposited on the last business day of the month (June 28, 2019). If you have additional money due after your last regular paycheck, e.g. internal moonlighting or additional payments, this will also be direct deposited, so it is recommended that you do not close your bank account until all expected payments have cleared. To avoid delay in receiving your W2, keep your address updated with Employee Services (303-860-4200).​ 

All insurance benefits end at midnight (unless completing a shift) on your final day in the training program (if exiting in June). You have no “grace period.”  If you are not sure of your correct ending date, contact your residency/fellowship program director to verify.
