The Employee Exit Checklist is designed to ensure that an employee's transition out of the company is as smooth and organized as possible. This checklist should be completed by the employee and their supervisor before the employee's last day. The checklist includes tasks such as returning company property, transferring files, collecting contact information, filling out forms, and completing exit interviews. It also includes tasks for the supervisor, such as notifying other departments, filing paperwork, and providing references. This checklist will help ensure that all necessary steps are taken to ensure a successful transition for the exiting employee.
Have the employee complete all required paperwork, including final timesheet and any waivers or releases.
