Leaving well
is part of
the job.

People remember how they were let go. Access closed, kit returned, final pay correct, and nobody had to chase it.

Three moments that usually go wrong

Nothing left hanging.

01 / The day they tell you

One conversation, not nine.

Notice logged, last day set, and everyone who needs to know finds out. No separate chase to IT, Finance and Facilities.

02 / Their last week

Handover, not hunting.

Who picks up what, written down. Laptop, card and keys on a list somebody actually owns.

03 / Their last day

Access off at five.

Accounts closed on the hour, not next month. Final pay counts the leave they never took.

Tomás Reyes is leaving: notice logged, handover accepted, kit returned, access off at 17:00 Friday, final pay in the next run

The part nobody enjoys

You still have to keep the records.

Payroll, contracts and tax records must be kept for years after somebody leaves, and how long depends on where they worked. hr goat keeps them, knows how long for, and can show you.

  • Every account closed is logged, with a time and a name against it.
  • Leave not taken is paid. Leave overtaken comes back. Neither is a guess.
  • The records you must keep are kept. The rest stops following them around.
  • If they come back next year, their history is still here.

They take something with them

Their record leaves with them.

Skills, training, reviews. The career passport they built here is theirs to keep. A decent exit is the cheapest recruitment you will ever do.

Say goodbye properly.

The last impression is the one they repeat.
