Exit interview
Collects exit interview responses through surveys or scheduled conversations.
Record retention
Retains exit records for set periods.
HRIS and payroll integration

How to choose offboarding software
Map what happens today from resignation or termination to the last day and beyond: who is told, which systems are changed, which notices go out. The failure points show which features matter.
Prioritize access removal and record keeping over exit survey design. Those are where risk concentrates.
Access deprovisioning
Delayed removal of system access is the main security exposure.
Task automation across teams
Offboarding spans HR, IT, payroll, benefits and managers.
Benefits continuation tracking
Employers and plans have federal notice deadlines. The DOL states an employer must notify the plan administrator within 30 days and the plan must provide an election notice within 14 days.
Final pay and state rules
Final paycheck timing varies by state, and the DOL federal pages do not set one rule for all.
Record retention
Retention rules differ by record type. Form I-9s must be kept for 3 years after hire or 1 year after termination, whichever is later, and payroll records at least three years.
Equipment and asset recovery
Lost devices carry cost and data risk.
Requirements by company size
Small businesses
- Reusable checklist with owners and due dates
- Access removal reminders for IT or the owner
- Document storage and retention flags
Watch out for
- Tools that assume an IT team and an identity provider
- Pricing based on all employees rather than departures
Mid-sized companies
- Identity provider and ITSM integration
- State-aware final pay and notice reminders
- Equipment tracking
- Involuntary and voluntary workflows
Watch out for
- Workflows that differ by site and are not centrally controlled
- Manual benefits notices
Enterprises
- Automated deprovisioning across many applications
- Legal hold and retention controls
- Role-based access to exit data
- API and HRIS integration at scale
Watch out for
- Complex integration scope
- Exit data privacy across regions
Red flags
- Deprovisioning is only a reminder email
- No audit trail of who completed which task and when
- State differences are ignored in final pay or notice workflows
- Retention cannot be configured by document type
- Involuntary terminations use the same workflow as resignations, with no confidentiality controls
How we research
Ranked by the LeadChange Score, computed only from verified facts: capability coverage (30%), pricing and value (20%), integrations and API (15%), security (15%), fit and support (10%) and data confidence (10%), times a category fit. Products with too few verified facts are not scored yet and come last. Payment never changes a score or a position.
Facts, not impressions
Every input is a fact verified against vendors’ official documentation, with the date we last checked it.
Missing data is never assumed
Unverified items are left out of the score and lower its coverage; below 60% coverage a product is not scored yet.
Independent of revenue
Rankings never depend on whether a vendor pays us.
