  Review Grant Policies: Check your organization's policies regarding grants and benefits for employees who are leaving. There may be specific rules that dictate how and when grants can be awarded.
  
  
  Consult with HR or Payroll: If you are unsure about the correct dates or policies, consult with your HR or payroll department for guidance.
