Separation Clearance

Separation Clearance in Zoho People is the structured process of verifying that a departing employee has returned all company assets, settled outstanding dues, and completed all exit obligations before their final settlement payment is released.

What is Separation Clearance in Zoho People?

Separation Clearance is the checklist-driven process that ensures all loose ends are tied up before an employee officially exits. It protects the organisation by confirming that company property is returned, system access is revoked, and all financial dues are settled before the final payslip is processed.

Clearance checklist items

  • IT: Laptop, mobile phone, access card, software licences revoked.
  • Finance: Outstanding advances cleared, expense claims settled, no pending reimbursements.
  • Admin: Office keys, parking pass, ID card returned.
  • Projects: Knowledge transfer completed, documentation handed over.
  • Payroll: Final pay computation approved.

Clearance workflow in Zoho People

When a separation is initiated, Zoho People triggers the clearance workflow automatically, assigning tasks to each department (IT, Finance, Admin) with a deadline. HR can track the overall clearance status in real time and only release the final settlement once all clearance tasks are marked complete.
