Employee Resignation Checklist

An Employee Resignation Checklist is a comprehensive list of tasks and considerations that need to be addressed when an employee resigns from a business. It helps ensure that all parties involved in the process are aware of their responsibilities and that the transition is as smooth as possible. The Checklist covers topics like terminating the employee’s access to company systems and data, collecting company property, preparing the final paycheck, and addressing any accrued vacation or sick leave. It also covers topics like providing a letter of recommendation and notifying other employees, customers, and vendors of the employee’s departure. The Employee Resignation Checklist is an important tool for ensuring a smooth transition for the departing employee, the business, and all other parties involved.
