Separation Requests Transcription

0:04
In this video, we will discuss the offboarding process and how offboarding begins for an employee in the system.

0:08
Offboarding starts with a Separation Request.

0:12
In this process, the employee raises a separation request, it goes for approval, and once approved, the offboarding workflow is triggered automatically.

0:18
Before starting offboarding, the first step is to check whether the Separation Request module is enabled for your organization.

0:24
To verify this, log in as an admin and navigate to the Control Panel.

0:28
Go to Settings and then open the Modules section.

0:33
Search for the Separation Request option.

0:38
Once you locate it, enable the Employee Separation Request option in the Self-Service Portal.

0:44
This allows employees to raise separation requests directly from their portal.

0:49
You can also configure additional options while enabling separation requests.

0:53
You can allow or restrict employees from revoking a separation request.

0:57
You can choose whether the desired relieving date should be visible to employees.

1:01
You can also enable an acknowledgement step before submitting the separation request.

1:06
Additionally, you can make document upload mandatory while raising a separation request.

1:10
You can decide whether the reporting manager is allowed to approve separation requests.

1:15
Enable or disable these options as per your company policy.

1:19
After making the required changes, click on Update to save the settings.


Employee View – Raising a Separation Request

1:26
Once enabled, employees will see a Separation Request option under the My Home section.

1:31
By clicking on Separation Request, employees can raise a new separation request.

1:36
Employees need to mention the reason for separation.

1:40
The desired relieving date will be auto-calculated based on the notice period defined in the employee profile or company policy.

1:46
Employees can also provide confidential feedback that will be visible only to HR.

1:51
They can share their experience and feedback about the organization.

1:56
Details such as notice period, relieving date, and attachments will be visible before submission.

2:01
Once submitted, the separation request is sent for approval.


Admin View – Managing Separation Requests

2:06
After an employee raises a separation request, admins can view it from the Control Panel.

2:10
Navigate to Employees and then Separation Requests.

2:15
Here, you can see all separation requests raised by employees.

2:19
You can view employee details, requested dates, and the desired relieving date.

2:24
You can open the request to review details and provide approval accordingly.

2:29
Once approved, multiple actions become available.

2:33
You can trigger the offboarding workflow from here.

2:37
You can add notes, generate documents, or mark the request as complete.

2:42
You can also deactivate the employee directly or raise a requisition request if required.


Admin-Initiated Separation Requests

2:48
Admins can also create separation requests on behalf of employees.

2:52
This is useful in cases such as termination, absconding, retirement, or contract completion.

2:58
To do this, go to Control Panel → Employees → Separation Requests.

3:03
Click on the Create New option.

3:06
Select the employee for whom the separation request needs to be raised.

3:10
Choose the exit type, such as resignation, termination, absconding, or retirement.

3:15
Select the reason type and request date.

3:19
Enter the desired relieving date as applicable.

3:23
You can also add notes and upload supporting documents if required.

3:28
Click on Add to create the separation request.

3:32
In this way, admins can manage both employee-initiated and admin-initiated offboarding effectively.
