Just as it is important to start the employment relationship with a through induction it is equally important to finalise the details when someone leaves.<\/p>\n

Completing a leavers checklist when a member of staff exits your business is a great way to ensure that all the relevant processes and important handovers are carried out correctly.
Having loose ends, for example not completing payroll correctly or forgetting to change important passwords, can leave your business exposed to risk.<\/p>\n

A comprehensive leavers checklist will give you the peace of mind that the correct procedures are being followed every time.<\/p>\n

There may need to be deductions from pay if they have taken more holiday than accrued or have outstanding loans. If your contract allows deductions for failing to return uniform or PPE items.<\/span><\/p>\n
