On Borderless HR, a user with HR permissions offboards a direct employee themselves: End employment opens the offboarding form, and Submit sets them to Offboarding.

Direct employees on the free Borderless HR plan are employed by your own company, so you run their exit under your own policies and local law. You record it in the platform yourself; Outstaffer does not send an Offboarding Plan. Only company users with HR permissions can do this.

  1. Open the employee. Go to People > Staff and open the employee's profile.

  2. Click End employment. This opens Fill out offboarding form.

  3. Fill in the exit details. All of these are required: Type, Last working date, Separation date, Working during notice period, Termination reason, Separation pay, Employee claim and Rehire eligibility. Notes is optional.

  4. Add documents if needed. Use Add attachments to upload files such as a resignation letter. They are saved to the employee's documents and are visible to everyone, including the employee.

  5. Click Submit. You see "Staff member status updated" and the employee's status changes to Offboarding straight away. Their primary hiring manager gets a platform notification.

  6. Close it off when employment ends. In People > Staff, open the options menu on the employee's row, choose Update contract status, set New status to Inactive, choose a Reason and click Submit.

Good to know

  • Type options are Outstaffer contract termination, Resignation, Termination, Role no longer required, Performance or conduct and Transfer to another employer. Termination reason has a longer list, such as End of contract, Mutual agreement, Retirement and Other.

  • No End employment button? You need HR permissions. In Company settings, edit the user and tick HR permissions. The button also only appears for employees who are Active.

  • Changed your mind before the employee leaves? Use Update contract status and set New status to Active. This removes the offboarding details.

  • Final pay, notice and exit paperwork for direct employees are handled by your company, outside the platform.
