Do you know what the protocol is if I am the engineer of record for an ongoing project when I change employers? Am I obligated to continue to provide engineering services?

While I am not an engineer, the same could apply to my NICET status (to a much lesser extent). As such, most employers carry E&O insurance that should cover your seal as it pertains to work provided by the company. As an engineer, you may carry your own E&O insurance but as you are working for a firm, the firm's insurance should cover your work. Ask them for a copy of the insurance, talk to their agent, or ask your HR dept.

Check with your state's PE Act and Bylaws. I'd assume once you leave, your previous employer will be forced to change the EOR on any ongoing projects.

One of those pesky ethics questions. Typically, when I have left a company I will hand off the project to another engineer even if I remain as the EOR. I will answer phone calls having to do with the project, however I am no longer being paid by the company, so anything that goes beyond answering questions about the design or design intent, the new engineer you handed off to should take care of that.
