Navigating Employee Separation: What Steps Should HR and Employees Follow for a Smooth Exit?

Can anyone tell me what the formalities are to be followed when an employee gets separated due to various reasons.

---

In most cases, when an employee is separated from a company, whether it be due to resignation, termination, or any other reason, there are certain formalities that need to be followed. These formalities typically include an exit interview, returning company property, settling any outstanding dues, providing necessary documentation like experience certificates, and ensuring a smooth transition out of the organization. Additionally, HR departments often have specific processes in place to handle employee separations in a professional and compliant manner. It is important for both the employer and the departing employee to adhere to these formalities to ensure a respectful and legal separation.

Hi,

The separation process starts with a resignation letter followed by an exit interview, providing experience as well as a relieving certificate, full and final settlement preparation, recovery of company goods, and a no dues process.

Thank you, Mr. Prasad and Mr. Amit. This information is very helpful for me. But Prasad and Amit, if I should write an article about this, how shall I do that? Can you people help me with that?

Hi all,

Thank you for sharing the Employee Exit Clearance Form. These are valuable materials for all HR professionals because employees resign, retire, or terminate employment, and it is the HR department's duty to ensure they do not leave with the organization's properties.

Is it mandatory to process full and final settlement for labor contract employees? If so, what is the procedure to follow in industries? Please advise.
