Leavers Checklist

This checklist is intended to be used by Line Managers.

Use the below series of checks to make sure all the right steps have been taken before a member of staff leaves LSE employment.

You should check any necessary access rights to data are sorted, ideally before they leave LSE.

Please remember that as a line manager, it is your responsibility to ensure all LSE resources and data are accounted for.
