Record employee details

This is a task, one of the actionable steps in your workflow. 

⬆️ When you edit a workflow, you can assign tasks to other users, give them a deadline to be completed by, pause the workflow run at this point, or change who can see this task by adjusting the permission settings ⬆️




Request a letter of resignation

This task uses variables to surface information collected in form fields in your workflow, so that they can be viewed or used elsewhere in your workflow, such as the send email widget below. 

Receive a letter of resignation

This task, or the fields within it, will show or remain hidden due to Conditional Logic rules that have been set up in this workflow.

Edit the workflow and ↖️click the Conditional Logic button ↖️ to view or edit the rules.

Inform the HR department via Slack

⚡️ You could automate this step by setting up an integration with Slack to automatically post a message to your HR channel.



Edit the workflow to see the snippet form field you could use in a Slack integration. 

Permissions/access termination:

This is a heading, used to separate tasks into sections in your workflow.

Notify your network administrator

Notify your network administrator of the date and time on which to revoke the employee’s access to computer and/or phone systems.


Confirm all online accounts are terminated

Status of employee benefits:

Request a benefits status letter from HR

Ensure that the letter covers life insurance, health coverage, a retirement plan, expense account plans, and clearly states the employee’s COBRA status (if applicable). 

Don’t complete this task until the letter has
been received and uploaded below. 

Employee agreements:

Review all signed agreements

Review any confidentiality and non-compete agreements to make sure that the employee understands what is expected of them upon departure.

Even if the employee never signed such a document, most employee handbooks have a clause or code of conduct paragraph about non-disclosure of company-related confidential information or trade secrets. Review this and remind the employee that any breach of this confidentiality will be addressed effectively.

Exit Interview:

Conduct a confidential exit interview

Update employee information

Give the employee an address update form to fill out if they move. Especially for multinational companies, or those with high turnover, W-2s will come back as non-deliverable if the address has changed.

As a backup, verify that the employee’s emergency contact information is up-to-date and that you can contact that person if you have trouble getting their W-2s to them.

Place all documents in employee’s file

⚡️ You could automate this step by setting up an integration with Google Drive or DropBox, to automatically send all the details to the employee’s folder.
