Separation Policy Template

A Separation Policy is an essential document that outlines the procedures and guidelines an organization follows when an employee leaves the company. This policy applies to all types of separations, including voluntary (resignation, retirement), involuntary (termination, layoffs), and contract completion.

A well-defined Separation Policy ensures that the process is handled consistently, professionally, and in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

1. Purpose of the Separation Policy

The purpose of this policy is to:

  • Define the procedures for all types of employee separations.
  • Ensure that all company property and financial matters are appropriately handled.
  • Ensure compliance with legal and contractual obligations during the employee’s departure.
  • Support the smooth transition of the departing employee.
