In practice

When you reach for it

1

Someone resigns mid-month

One departure touches payroll, leave, assets, accounts and handover — easy to miss in exactly the expensive place.

  1. 1.The offboarding process opens a checklist: recover assets, disable accounts, hand over work
  2. 2.Remaining leave days convert into a payable in that payroll period
  3. 3.The login is disabled the moment the record changes status

No orphaned accounts, and the final payslip is right the first time.
