Overview
The departure of an employee within a company is a natural process of the employee's work cycle. This can be caused either by the employee´s resignation or a company induced termination and generates a lot of work for the Human Resources Area.
Bizagi offers a new template called the Offboarding Process to assist companies in this process. The process helps the Human Resources Area to execute all the activities needed for the departure of an employee, such as stopping payroll, benefits, and security access, collecting the company’s property, etc.
The process begins when an employee is going to leave the company, due to resignation or a company-induced termination. It is necessary to evaluate if the termination was voluntary resignation or laid off.
If the employee voluntary resigned, his or her boss can create an activity plan to be executed before the employee’s departure. Regardless of the reason the employee leaves the company, it is always necessary to perform the Create Termination Plan task, where a Human Resources Analyst must decide what activities are needed to be performed for the employee’s departure.
Near to the Termination Date. It is necessary to perform different activities:
•Collect the elements provided by the organization, such as computers, telephone, access cards, etc.
•Conduct an exit interview. The interview is very important because it provides data for improving working conditions and retaining employees’ programs, among other things.
•Remove the employee from the automatic payroll, Health Care Service, etc.
•Disable or cancel the access rights to the company's information system.
To close the process, the employee must receive an amount of money that includes unpaid salary, damages, and compensation for loss of office and update the payroll.

Main Facts in the Process Construction
Data Model
The Business Process entity is Offboarding. It holds information about the departure of employees, such as termination date, type of termination, reason for termination, etc. The entity is related to the Employee Access Rights, Exit Interview, Social Security, Activities before Departure, Legal Documents for Termination and Job Requirements. The relationship between them is one to many.
If the Onboarding process template was used for the entry of the future ex-employee, the case of Offboarding will be related to it. That way the Offboarding Process can access information such as access granted to the company´s systems and items provided during the Onboarding Process.
Employee Access Rights, Exit Interview, Social Security, Legal Documents for Termination and Job Requirements are related to parameter tables. In the activities where these tables are used, information from them is loaded automatically. It is possible to add new records during the life of a case.
Parameter Tables
The model includes several parameter tables.
The Legal documents for Termination entity holds the legal documents that the employee needs to sign. The Social Security entity contains the entities to which the employee must be disenrolled from.
The following entities Access Rights, Exit Interview Questions and Social Security Issues contain some records suggested for each case.
It is very important that you review and establish the parameterization of all the entities that suits you best. The information held depends on your company and the countries you work in.
Access Rights, Exit Interview Questions and Social Security Issues Parameterization
It is very important to include in each table the information that the company considers necessary for the departure of the employee.
For example, in the Exit Interview Questions entity it is necessary to include the questions that your company use for this kind of interview.
In the Access Rights entity, it is advisable to include the requirements that are generally assigned, such as network user, an email address and the general permissions to folders or servers, contrary to Onboarding, in this case it is necessary to cancel or disable the permissions. The boss can add any other rights to the case that are considered necessary but are not found in the general list when an Offboarding case has started.

On the Receive Resignation/Termination Letter task, a Resignation letter is created in PFD format.
