# Employee Offboarding & Settlement

> How to terminate an India EOR employee and process the Full & Final settlement.

When it's time to end an EOR employment relationship, Omnivoo handles the offboarding process, including calculating the Full & Final (F\&F) settlement and generating termination paperwork. This guide walks you through it.

## Initiating Termination

To begin the offboarding process:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the employee's detail page">
    Open the employee from your [People page](/employer/employees) to reach their detail page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Terminate employment">
    While the employee is **active**, open the **⋯** menu in the page header and choose **Terminate employment**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the termination details">
    | Field | Description | Required |
    | - | - | - |
    | **They resigned / You're ending it** | Who ended the employment | Yes |
    | **Notice given on** | The day the resignation or notice was given. Defaults to today | Yes |
    | **Last working day** | Defaults to the notice period from their offer letter, counted from the notice date. You can pick another day, never before the notice date | Yes |
    | **Note** | A free-text note on why | Yes |
    | **Waive notice period** | Ends the employment on the notice date | No |
  </Step>
</Steps>

**Terminate employment** stays disabled until you add a note. On success the dialog closes and you are returned to the People list. If something goes wrong, the error appears as a toast.

<Warning>
  Termination is a significant action. Once confirmed, it triggers the settlement calculation. Make sure you've confirmed the decision and the termination date before proceeding.
</Warning>

### Notice Period

EOR employment is India only, and the notice period is the one in the employee's offer letter (commonly 30 to 90 days in India).

While they serve it, their page shows **On notice** and **Serving notice until** the last working day. They stay on payroll: each run pays them up to their last working day, and the Omnivoo fee is billed for those months. The day after their last working day the employment ends, and they drop off payroll and billing.

If you tick **Waive notice period**, the employment ends on the notice date, and notice period pay may still be owed as part of the settlement.

## Full & Final Settlement

After termination is confirmed, Omnivoo automatically calculates the Full & Final (F\&F) settlement. This is a complete accounting of everything owed to, and owed by, the employee.

### Earnings

| Component | Description |
| - | - |
| **Pro-rata Salary** | Salary for days worked in the final month |
| **Leave Encashment** | Payment for unused earned/paid leave balance |
| **Gratuity** | Statutory gratuity, shown with an "Eligible" or "Not Eligible" badge (eligible at 5+ years of service) |
| **Notice Period Pay** | Owed when the employer does not require the full notice period to be served |
| **Bonus Payable** | Any earned but unpaid bonus |
| **Reimbursements** | Pending expense reimbursements |

### Deductions

| Component | Description |
| - | - |
| **Advance Recovery** | Any salary advances or loans not yet repaid |
| **Notice Period Shortfall** | When the employee did not serve the full notice period, the equivalent salary for the unserved days |
| **Other Deductions** | Any other amounts owed by the employee (equipment charges, training bond recovery, and so on) |

The **Net Settlement** is total earnings minus total deductions.

<Info>
  The settlement is calculated automatically from the employee's salary data, tenure, leave balance, and contractual terms. You review each line item before approving.
</Info>

For a salary agreed in another currency, the conversion rate top-up held for the employee is paid on the final pay run on top of the settlement. See [When the employee leaves](/eor/salary-agreed-in-another-currency#when-the-employee-leaves).

## Reviewing and Approving the Settlement

The settlement is **reviewed and approved on the Settlement Approvals page**, not on the employee's detail page. From a terminated employee's **Documents** tab you can click **View Settlement** to open it, or open it directly at `/employer/eor/settlements?engagementId=...`.

On that page you review the earnings, deductions, and net amount, then click **Approve Settlement** and confirm. Approval is irreversible. For the full walkthrough, see [Settlement Approvals](/eor/settlement-approvals).

### Settlement Statuses

| Status | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Pending** | Settlement calculated, awaiting your approval |
| **Approved** | You approved the settlement; Omnivoo is processing the payment |
| **Paid** | The settlement amount has been disbursed to the employee |

## Termination Documents

For a terminated employee, the **Documents** tab on their detail page lets you generate termination paperwork. Click **Generate Termination Documents** to produce two PDFs:

* **Relieving letter** - confirms the employee has been relieved of duties as of their last working date.
* **Experience letter** - certifies the role and dates of employment.

Both appear in the document list to download once generated.

## Post-Termination

After offboarding:

* The engagement moves to a completed/cancelled state and is no longer on active payroll.
* Employment records, payslips, and generated documents remain accessible.

## Common Questions

**Can a terminated employee be re-hired?**
Yes. You can hire them again through the standard [hiring process](/eor/hiring-eor-employee). A new offer letter is generated and both sides sign it.

**What if the employee disputes the settlement?**
Contact Omnivoo support with the details. We will review the calculation and provide documentation for each component.

**How is gratuity calculated for India?**
Gratuity = (Last drawn Basic Salary x 15 x Years of Service) / 26. Statutory gratuity applies after 5 years of service, but companies may offer it earlier per policy.
