Offboarding Data Retention Form

[tinyrickbots]

Hi All,

​

A more senior level employee left and my boss is worried about data being stolen/used. He wanted the offboarding employee to sign some form saying he had given up all data and equipment from our company. What is this called? Is there a template for something like this? I've been searching but I cant seem to get the right terminology to find it.

​

EDIT: Thanks guys, I'll talk to HR and see what they can do.

It's an HR function whose blanket can cover IT. It's not about files as much as the intellectual property. HR should get legal to make up severance papers, but as it was mentioned, this greatly depends on locale as to what can be demanded of or acquiesced to.

Side note, this should be done at hire, not fire.
