Key ideas in simple words
CONCEPT: Exit. The whole process of a person leaving the company.
CONCEPT: Resignation. A person chooses to leave. Other types are retirement, end of contract, termination and absconding.
CONCEPT: Notice period. The days between the resignation and the last working day. It depends on the grade.
CONCEPT: Last working day. The final day the person works. Also called LWD.
CONCEPT: Clearance. Each department confirms the person has returned or settled what they hold.
CONCEPT: Full & final. The last settlement of pay and dues, after the last working day.
CONCEPT: Regretted exit. A person you did not want to lose.

CONCEPT: Boomerang hire. A former employee who comes back.
Why a good exit matters
How a person leaves is remembered. A smooth exit protects you from disputes, pays people on time, and keeps the door open for the person to return or refer others. Exits are also the best source of honest feedback about your company.
The legal time limit for payment
Under the Code on Wages, wages due should be paid within 2 working days of the last working day. USR Exit works out the settlement from the agreed last day, leave balance, notice, gratuity and clearance dues, so that you can pay on time. You can choose a longer period in the Exit policy if your company policy and your payroll adviser allow it.
Consent and privacy
New employers and background-check agencies ask to confirm dates and role. USR Exit answers only with the alumnus's consent, and only with what the person agreed to share, as the DPDP Act expects. Contact details of an alumnus who did not opt in stay hidden.
What each role sees
