What is employee offboarding?

It is the steps to take when someone leaves: collecting equipment, ending access, freeing software and handing over work.

What does the offboarding checklist include?

A checklist with a last day, split into steps for HR, the manager and IT, plus a list of the equipment and software seats the person still holds.

Can I return equipment from the offboarding page?

Yes. One click marks the equipment as returned, and one click frees the person's software seats.

Will I be reminded of someone's last day?

Yes. The bell in the header shows leavers' last days. Reminders appear in the app and are not emailed.

Where is the history kept?

On the person's employee record.

How much does it cost?

Every workspace has a base plan that includes Tickets. This is an app you switch on for a simple monthly price, and every app is free for the first 30 days.

What offboarding software does

Offboarding is everything that has to happen when someone leaves: collecting the laptop, cutting off access, freeing up the software they were using and handing over their work. When it lives in someone's head, things get missed.

Offboarding software turns that into a checklist with a last day. It also shows what the person still holds, so you are not guessing which laptop, phone or software seat is out there.

For a small business, the most expensive misses are the quiet ones: equipment that never comes back and software seats you keep paying for. A single list of what to return closes both.

Steps for HR, the manager and IT
