Does an employee on a leave of absence (LOA) need to be returned from LOA before a termination can be processed on their UCPath appointment?

It is not necessary to return an employee from a LOA in order to process a termination. However, if the employee is on an unpaid leave of absence and needs to be paid out, then the employee must be returned to active status to be paid. If the employee is on a paid LOA, then it is not necessary to return the employee to process final pay.
