The Offboarding Checklist feature allows admins to automate and manage the exit process with precision. By organizing tasks into groups, you can ensure that the right teams or individuals are notified the moment an employee begins their transition.

Key Capabilities

  • Customizable Workflows: Build, edit, clone, or delete individual tasks and entire checklists to fit your specific needs.

  • Targeted Assignments: Define exactly which employees or departments are responsible for each action item.

  • Automatic Activation: Tasks trigger instantly once a termination date is recorded for an employee.

  • Audit Readiness: If an account is reactivated, all previous offboarding data remains accessible for compliance and record-keeping.

Further information

Workflow: Assigning an offboarding checklist

An off-boarding task triggers once you enter a termination date for an active employee. The workflow for this process is:

  1. An Admin terminates and offboards the employee.
  2. The task owner receives an email notification on the due date.
  3. The task owner can use the Click Here button to access their assigned task.
  4. The platform will take the task owner to the My Tasks feature, where they can view, action, and complete their assigned offboarding tasks.
