How to Protect Your Business with the Right Offboarding Documents When Employees Leave with Candy Messer
Description
When an employee leaves, whether through resignation, retirement, or termination, your business faces legal, financial, and compliance risks. Yet most organizations overlook the offboarding process, leaving major gaps that could lead to penalties, lawsuits, or lost intellectual property. This Quick Tip episode of Biz Help For You walks you through the essential documents every business must have in place during employee exits to stay protected and compliant.
You’ll learn why “at-will employment” still requires careful documentation, which forms must be provided immediately, how to properly handle final pay, and why COBRA notices, separation agreements, property return acknowledgments, confidentiality reminders, and documented exit interviews are crucial. We also cover retention rules and the long-term consequences of missing paperwork.
Whether you manage HR, lead a team, or run a small business, this episode will help you strengthen your processes, avoid legal exposure, and reinforce fair, consistent practices across your organization.
