Offboarding Checklists

When Someone Leaves,
Nothing Gets Missed

Offboarding is where things fall through the cracks. Active logins, unreturned laptops, knowledge that walks out the door. Thicket gives you a checklist that covers everything.

What Gets Missed Without a Checklist

Every missed step is a security risk, a financial cost, or both.

Access not revoked

Former employee still has login credentials to company systems. This is the most common security gap.

Equipment not returned

Laptops, phones, badges, and keys that never make it back. Each one is a cost and a risk.

Accounts still active

SaaS subscriptions, corporate cards, and vendor accounts that keep charging after someone leaves.

Knowledge not transferred

Passwords, client relationships, and project context that walk out the door with the person.

Set It Up Once, Use It Every Time

1

Create your template

List every offboarding task. Assign each to a department or role. Add conditional steps for different employee types.

2

Start an offboarding

Enter the employee's name and last day. The checklist generates with all steps pre-assigned and deadlines set relative to the departure date.

3

Track to completion

Everyone checks off their tasks as they go. Managers and HR see progress in real time. Nothing falls through.

Offboarding Is a Security Event

When someone leaves your company, the clock starts ticking. Every hour their accounts stay active is an hour of unnecessary risk.

A checklist makes sure access revocation happens on the right day, not three weeks later when someone notices the person is still in Slack.

Thicket keeps an audit trail of every step. If you ever need to prove that access was revoked on a specific date, the record is there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I customize the offboarding checklist?

Completely. Add, remove, or reorder steps. Assign different steps to different people (IT handles access revocation, HR handles final pay, manager handles knowledge transfer). Build checklists that match your actual process.

Does the checklist generate automatically?

Yes. When you initiate an offboarding, the checklist is created from your template with all steps pre-assigned. You can also add conditional steps based on the employee's department or role.

Who can see the offboarding checklist?

You control visibility. Typically the departing employee's manager, HR, IT, and any other stakeholders you assign. The departing employee can see their own tasks (like returning equipment) but not sensitive items.

Is this included in the $49/mo price?

Yes. Offboarding checklists, onboarding forms, PTO tracking, timesheets, project management, team chat, and file sharing are all included. $49/mo flat for unlimited users.
