Employee Offboarding Checklist
An employee offboarding checklist that keeps the evidence
OneClickComply gives IT, security and compliance leads an employee offboarding checklist they can work through and prove. The Personnel page flags leavers found by directory sync, and each leaver has a checklist for disabling the account, revoking access, applying data retention, notifying the manager and returning equipment, with files attached as evidence.
Why leaver access is the audit finding that keeps coming back
Leavers are where access control quietly fails. An account stays active, a laptop is never returned, a shared login is not changed, and nobody can show an auditor what was done or when. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 auditors sample leavers and ask for proof, so an offboarding process that lives in email threads and memory turns into a finding. A checklist with evidence attached to each person closes that gap.
How offboarding is tracked in OneClickComply
Personnel page with four tabs
The Personnel page separates people into Active, Pending, Inactive and Directory Sync tabs. Invitations stay pending until the person accepts, so you can see who has joined and who has not.
Directory Sync with Offboarded and Review counts
Directory Sync reads identities from Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Suspended users are picked up as leavers. The Offboarded count shows people whose identities are all inactive, the Review count shows identities flagged for offboarding review, and an Offboarding column shows the date each person left.
Offboarding evidence checklist
Open a person and the detail panel lists the offboarding checks: account disabled, access revoked, data retention applied, manager notified, equipment returned and other. Each check can have a file uploaded as evidence.
Employment Status and Review Status
Each person has an Employment Status and a Review Status. Employment Status can be Active, Offboarded or Pending, and Review Status can be Pending Review, Reviewed or Exempted. A leaver flagged for review shows as pending review until someone changes it.
Assets flagged for reassignment
When a Directory Sync identity is offboarded, the assets owned by that person are flagged as pending reassignment and show as Unassigned in the Asset Register, so devices are not left against a former employee.
Part of the wider audit trail
Offboarding sits alongside the audit log, so you can show an auditor the evidence and the record of who changed what.
