Employee Exit Asset Checklist

An employee exit asset checklist lists every company item a leaving employee may hold, grouped by the department that collects it: IT, admin, security, finance and the employee's own department. HR circulates it once a resignation is accepted so each owner can tick off items before the last working day and F&F.
