End or change of employment

Managers must ensure that all employees, contractors and third-party users return all assets within their possession and that all access rights (including building passes, access to buildings, IT systems, applications and directories) are removed at the point of termination or change of employment.

If the leaver holds a national security vetting (NSV) clearance, managers must complete a leavers form which will advise the NSV team that the NSV clearance holder is leaving, the level of clearance held, the reason for leaving, and the date. The NSV team will then inform the Protective Security Centre (PSC) who will inform UKSV and lapse the clearance.

Leavers should read the HR guidance at End or change employment.

Managers must also complete a leaver’s checklist as a record of actions.
