A planned departure needs a clear checklist
Notice is available and access, files, and licenses should be handled before the employee’s last day.

When Employee IT Offboarding helps
Use Employee IT Offboarding when one employee departure requires coordinated access removal, file handling, and device return documentation. It does not include HR administration, legal offboarding, incident response, or managed security services.
A time-sensitive departure requires priority coordination
Timing is compressed and an authorized administrator needs coordinated access removal and documentation.
Device return needs instructions, not warehouse logistics
The priority is access cleanup and return instructions. Physical retrieval can be coordinated with a third party when needed.
What’s included
One authorized departure handled through a documented process, with exceptions recorded in writing.
Access actions completed
Listed systems reviewed; approved accounts disabled or removed with written authorization.
Ownership and licenses reviewed
File and email ownership, backups where supported, and license recovery steps documented.
Handoff and exceptions report
Return instructions or retrieval coordination notes, with remaining items documented.
Who this engagement is for
Clear criteria so organizations can determine suitability before scheduling a consultation.
Recommended when
Account and data offboarding is the primary need
An authorized administrator is available, and the organization needs access removal, file handling, and return documentation more than enterprise logistics.
- Authorized administrator available for listed business systems.
- A company contact who can approve irreversible account actions in writing.
- Focus on access, files, licenses, and device-return instructions.
Not recommended when
Full lifecycle logistics is the primary requirement
ScreenDetect can coordinate third-party retrieval when useful, but does not operate warehouses or certified destruction facilities.
- Guaranteed physical retrieval is the primary product requirement.
- Certified destruction or chain-of-custody warehousing owned by ScreenDetect is required.
- No written authority is available for account disablement.
How Employee IT Offboarding works
Remote coordination with your authorized administrators. Irreversible actions require explicit written approval.
- 1
Authorization and inventory
Confirm the authorized administrator, systems included, timing, and what must be preserved versus removed.
- 2
Access and ownership actions
Guide account disablement, session sign-out where supported, license steps, and authorized file or email transfer while your team enters credentials.
- 3
Handoff and report
Document outstanding devices, return instructions or retrieval coordination, and remaining items.
Employee IT Offboarding pricing
Working launch pricing. Final amounts are confirmed after the required review for that engagement.

Common questions
Is the Initial Consultation free?
Yes. The Initial Consultation is a no-cost conversation used to understand your situation. It is not the paid device operations assessment and does not include a fixed-price proposal.
How is this different from managed IT?
This is a fixed-price device-operations or employee-transition project with defined deliverables—not a monthly per-user retainer, infrastructure administration, or continuous help desk.
Do you collect or store our passwords?
No. Company contacts and employees enter passwords and MFA themselves. Credentials are not retained.
When is payment due?
Payment is requested after the included work for that engagement is confirmed. Requests and the Initial Consultation have no cost.
Who can use Urgent Offboarding?
The $800 Urgent Offboarding option is limited to existing ScreenDetect clients or companies that have completed a device operations assessment, when the environment is known and an authorized administrator is available.
Do you offer first-time emergency offboarding?
Not currently. First-time emergency offboarding for companies ScreenDetect has not previously assessed is not offered at launch.
What if the employee has already left?
Often still workable if an administrator can reach the relevant systems. The Initial Consultation confirms what can be disabled, transferred, or documented as an exception.
Do you retrieve laptops?
We do not operate a warehouse or courier fleet. We can prepare return instructions and coordinate a third-party retrieval service when that is part of the agreed plan. Third-party return shipping is billed at the provider’s current rate; ScreenDetect charges a separate $75 coordination fee when return coordination is requested.
What does Employee IT Offboarding include—and what does it not?
Employee IT Offboarding handles the device, account, file, license, and access steps associated with one employee departure. It does not include HR administration, legal offboarding, incident response, or managed security services. Legal, HR, and employment decisions remain with the company.
Is this a full device lifecycle platform?
No. Employee IT Offboarding provides remote device, account, and handoff coordination for one departure—not enterprise logistics infrastructure, warehousing, or certified destruction.
