A practical employee offboarding checklist for Malaysian employers to keep track of HR, payroll, handover, company property, system access and employee documentation.
When an employee leaves, HR needs to coordinate several tasks across payroll, documentation, handover, company property and system access. Missing one of these steps can create unnecessary follow-up after the employee's last day.
This Employee Offboarding Checklist gives Malaysian employers a practical way to keep the exit process organised. You can customise it based on your company's internal processes and use it for resignations, contract completions and other employee departures.
An employee offboarding checklist is a list of tasks HR and other relevant teams can use when an employee leaves the company. It can cover areas such as handover, final payroll, company property, system access and employee documentation.
The checklist is mainly designed for HR teams and employers, but some tasks may also involve the employee's manager, payroll, finance, IT and other departments depending on your company's processes.
Ideally, start once the employee's final working date has been confirmed. This gives HR and the relevant teams time to arrange the handover, final payroll, return of company property and other exit tasks before the employee leaves.
Yes. The checklist is provided as an editable template, so you can add, remove or change items based on your company's HR procedures, policies and internal systems.
