The offboarding problem
Most exits are improvised. They shouldn't be.
An email to IT, a half-finished checklist on someone's desktop, a laptop that never came back, an exit letter written from scratch every time - and exit reasons captured nowhere.
workit's offboarding module gives every departure the same structured process - custom exit reasons, task checklists assigned to the right people, asset return tracking and exit letters generated from the employee's data.
Everything in the offboarding module
A formal exit, run from one place.
Reasons, checklists, assets, letters and audit trail - all on the employee record.
Formal exit process
A defined offboarding workflow for every departure - no improvised exits, no missed steps, no inconsistent experience between teams.
Custom exit reasons
Build your own lists of exit reasons and categories so the data you capture matches the questions HR actually wants to answer.
Task checklists for the team
Generate checklists that assign offboarding tasks to other staff - IT, managers, payroll, HR - with owners, due dates and completion tracking.
Asset return tracking
See every asset allocated to the leaver - laptop, phone, uniform, keys, access cards - and tick them off as they're returned, so nothing walks out the door.
Auto-populated exit letters
Generate exit letters pre-filled with the employee's data, then send for review and signature - consistent, accurate, and ready in minutes.
Send for employee review
Push the exit letter to the employee directly for review and confirmation - keeping the process transparent and properly documented.
Reason & turnover reporting
Aggregate exit reasons over time to surface trends - by team, business unit or category - and feed real data into retention conversations.
On the employee record
Every step - checklist, asset, letter, exit reason - is preserved on the employee profile alongside the rest of their HR history.
Audit-ready trail
A complete, time-stamped record of who did what, when - for HR compliance, audits and any future reference checks.
Connected by design
Hire to exit, in one platform.
Offboarding lives on the same employee record as onboarding, compliance and performance - so the same person you brought into the business through workit also leaves it through workit, with the full history intact.

FAQ
Offboarding software, answered.
What is offboarding software?+
Offboarding software runs the structured exit process for departing staff - capturing exit reasons, assigning offboarding tasks to the right people, tracking asset returns and generating exit letters. workit offboarding software ties every offboarding step to the employee record so the full offboarding history is preserved.
How is workit offboarding software different from a generic checklist tool?+
Generic checklists run an offboarding to-do list and stop there. workit offboarding software runs the entire offboarding process - custom offboarding reasons, role-based offboarding task assignment, asset return tracking, auto-populated offboarding exit letters and audit-ready offboarding reporting - all inside the HRIS, not in a parallel tool.
Can we customise offboarding exit reasons?+
Yes. Build your own offboarding exit reasons and categories - workit offboarding software does not lock you into a fixed taxonomy, so the offboarding data you capture matches the way your HR team thinks about turnover.
How do offboarding checklists work?+
Generate an offboarding checklist of tasks for an exit - IT account deactivation, manager handover, payroll final pay, HR exit interview - and assign each offboarding task to the right staff member with a due date. Everyone sees the offboarding tasks they own and HR sees the whole offboarding picture.
Does the offboarding software track returned assets?+
Yes. workit offboarding software records the assets allocated to the leaver - laptops, phones, uniforms, keys, access cards - and you tick them off in the offboarding workflow as they come back, so nothing is forgotten at offboarding.
How do exit letters work in the offboarding software?+
The offboarding software generates exit letters with the employee's data already populated, then sends them to the employee for review. The signed offboarding exit letter is preserved on the employee record alongside the rest of the offboarding history.
Where does the offboarding history live?+
On the employee profile, alongside the rest of their HR record - onboarding, compliance, policies, performance and offboarding - giving HR an audit-ready, end-to-end picture from hire through offboarding.
Is workit offboarding software built and supported in Australia, and included in workit's price?+
Yes. workit offboarding software is built and supported in Australia, and the offboarding module is included in workit's standard $5 per employee per month price - every workit module, including offboarding, is bundled with no per-module offboarding fees and no lock-in contracts.
