Offboarding

Why Offboarding is Important? Offboarding ensures a seamless transition when an employee leaves, benefiting both the organization and the departing individual. It provides an opportunity to gather valuable feedback, protect sensitive information, and ensure continuity in tasks and responsibilities. A structured offboarding process supports knowledge transfer, maintains positive relationships, and strengthens the organization’s reputation, making it easier to rehire or collaborate in the future.

At the Department, we have developed easy-to-use checklists that help simplify the offboarding process.

Extension of AU e-mail

Access to AU email can, as a general rule, be extended by 3 months, and in special cases up to a maximum of 12 months, after termination of employment. 

The request, accompanied by an academic justification and the AUID, must be sent to the Head of Department for approval.

The request must include confirmation that offboarding, including the handover of (access to) data and the return of AU IT equipment, has been completed. An approved extension is sent to the Secretariat’s HR officer, who archives it.
