Exits & offboarding

The last day, done properly.

An exit is half a dozen things that all have to happen, owned by different people, usually tracked in somebody's head. Spyne makes it one checklist with a gate at the end — the settlement will not release while something is outstanding.

One exit, everything it involves, and what is still outstanding.
The problem

The unreturned laptop is discovered a month after the final payment has gone out. The shared mailbox nobody reassigned is discovered when a client emails it. Both are the same failure: a checklist that lived in a head.

How it works

Nothing forgotten on the last day

Open the exit

Resignation date, last working day, notice required and whether shortfall is recovered. Spyne works out the notice served and what it means for the settlement.

Hand the work over

Their open tasks are listed with the ones only they know flagged. Assign each to a successor and record when it actually happened.

Settle, once it is safe

Assets outstanding and access still live both hold the settlement. When they clear, the final figure is computed from real payroll.

Handover

What only they know

Spyne reads their open work and asks the question that matters: is there anybody else who could pick this up? The answers become the handover plan.

  • Every open task, with its project and its state
  • Flag the ones only they understand
  • Assign a successor and record the date it was handed over

Why it matters

What changes when you run it this way

A gate, not a reminder

The settlement is blocked while a laptop is out or an account is still live. The last day is the only moment there is real leverage, and this is what uses it.

Handover with the risk visible

Tasks only the leaver understands are ranked first, so the handover conversation starts with the thing that would actually hurt to lose.

Access removal as a list

Every system the person had access to, ticked off one at a time, with who confirmed it. Credentials rank above equipment — a returned key card matters more than a written-down monitor.

A settlement from real numbers

Notice shortfall, leave encashment and the final month's pay come from payroll and the leave ledger, not from a separate calculation somebody does in a spreadsheet.

Questions

Before you ask us

Can we release a settlement before everything is returned?

The gate is deliberate, and it tells you exactly what is outstanding. Anything genuinely written off is recorded as such against the asset, so the settlement releases with a reason attached rather than by overriding the check.

How is the final settlement calculated?

From the same records as normal payroll: the final month prorated on real attendance, leave encashment from the ledger, and any notice shortfall you have chosen to recover. It is a payslip, not a separate spreadsheet.

What happens to the leaver's tasks?

They are listed on the handover screen with the ones only they know flagged first. Each is assigned to a successor and marked handed over with a date, so the exit cannot quietly complete around them.
