How to Start an Employee Offboarding Request

Open the employee in People > Staff, click End employment, say what is happening and why, then Submit. Employment doesn't end yet and the employee isn't told.

Use this when someone employed through Outstaffer is leaving, whether they have resigned or you need to end their role. Submitting starts the offboarding process only. Employment does not end straight away, and nothing is sent to the employee.

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

  2. Click End employment. The End employment button is in the right-hand column of the profile. It opens the End employment for form with the employee's name.

  3. Choose what is happening. Under What is happening?, pick Resignation, Role no longer required, Performance or conduct or Transfer to another employer.

  4. Give the reason. In Reason, briefly describe why employment is ending. Both fields are required.

  5. Confirm and submit. Read the summary, tick the acknowledgement and click Submit. By ticking it you confirm that charges continue under your agreement until offboarding completes, and that you won't discuss the offboarding with the employee until the communication approach in the Offboarding Plan is agreed.

What happens next

  • You see "End of employment requested", and the employee's profile shows an End of employment requested panel with the type and reason.

  • Outstaffer HR contacts you within 2 business days with an Offboarding Plan covering the lawful exit process, notice periods, timeline, final pay and entitlements, and all costs. Nothing proceeds until you approve it.

  • For statuses and where to track the request, see What Happens After You Request an Employee's Offboarding. To cancel or change it, see How to Cancel or Change an Offboarding Request.

Good to know

  • The End employment button only shows for employees who are Active, and only when no offboarding request is already open for them.

  • For someone who hasn't started yet, click Support requests, then New request, and choose the Employee termination category.

  • Charges continue through the applicable notice period. Your Offboarding Plan confirms exact dates and final costs.

  • Direct employees on Borderless HR are offboarded differently. See How to Offboard a Direct Employee on Borderless HR.
