Employee Separation
Employee Separation is a situation when the service agreement of an Employee with his/her organization comes to an end and the Employee leaves the organization.
Employee Separation is created for an Employee who has resigned or terminated from the organization.
Use Case: Let's assume that following are the activities which need to be performed as soon as an Employee needs to be separated from the organization.
- Collect laptop
- Clear dues
- Delete Employee Email Account
- Collect identity card
In ERPNext, these standard activities can be tracked in the Employee Separation Template. To access Employee Separation, go to:
Human Resources > Employee Lifecycle > Employee Separation
