How to initiate the exit of an employee?

When an employee resigns or needs to be terminated, HR/Admin users can easily initiate the exit process on Keka. Once initiated, the employee immediately moves into the notice period, unless a custom last working day is assigned.

Follow the steps below to initiate an exit:

1. Open the employee’s Profile and click on Actions.

2. Select Initiate Exit from the dropdown.

3. In the Initiate Exit window, choose the Reason for Exit and specify whether a discussion was held. If yes, enter a summary.

4. Select the appropriate Resignation/Termination Reason.

5. Choose the Notice Given Date and the Last Working Day (either system-calculated or manually selected).

6. Specify whether the employee is Eligible for Rehire.

7. Add a Comment and upload any Attachments, if needed.

8. Click Initiate Exit.

After these steps, the request moves to approval, if required. Once approved, the employee officially enters the exit process.
