They shouldn't be. An email to IT, a half-finished checklist on someone's desktop, a laptop that never came back, an exit letter written from scratch every time - and exit reasons captured nowhere. workit's offboarding module gives every departure the same structured process - custom exit reasons, task checklists assigned to the right people, asset return tracking and exit letters generated from the employee's data. Everything in the offboarding module ## A formal exit, run from one place. Reasons, checklists, assets, letters and audit trail - all on the employee record. ### Formal exit process A defined offboarding workflow for every departure - no improvised exits, no missed steps, no inconsistent experience between teams. ### Custom exit reasons Build your own lists of exit reasons and categories so the data you capture matches the questions HR actually wants to answer. ### Task checklists for the team Generate checklists that assign offboarding tasks to other staff - IT, managers, payroll, HR - with owners, due dates and completion tracking. ### Asset return tracking See every asset allocated to the leaver - laptop, phone, uniform, keys, access cards - and tick them off as they're returned, so nothing walks out the door. ### Auto-populated exit letters Generate exit letters pre-filled with the employee's data, then send for review and signature - consistent, accurate, and ready in minutes. ### Send for employee review Push the exit letter to the employee directly for review and confirmation - keeping the process transparent and properly documented. ### Reason & turnover reporting Aggregate exit reasons over time to surface trends - by team, business unit or category - and feed real data into retention conversations. ### On the employee record Every step - checklist, asset, letter, exit reason - is preserved on the employee profile alongside the rest of their HR history. ### Audit-ready trail A complete, time-stamped record of who did what, when - for HR compliance, audits and any future reference checks. Connected by design ## Hire to exit, in one platform. Offboarding lives on the same employee record as onboarding, compliance and performance - so the same person you brought into the business through workit also leaves it through workit, with the full history intact.
