The People Experience Associate in the relevant rotation will assign the offboarding team member to a People Experience Associate from within the offboarding tracker. Once assigned, the assigned People Experience Associate creates the offboarding issue, within 12 hours of the offboarding date (may be sooner once the relevant Associate in the rotation is online) as is stipulated in the #offboarding Slack channel submitted by the People Business Partner. Many other teams work to deprovision access including the ITOps team, this should be regarded as urgent and expected to be completed in 5 working days with the exception of Laptop returns, which can take 2 - 4 weeks.
The offboarding process kicks off once a Slack Workflow has been submitted by a People Business Partner (PBP) in the closed offboarding channel. This workflow should include information around the offboarding type, the exact date on which it will be effective i.e. immediate or future dated and whether or not the team member in question will be placed on Garden Leave. The team members status should immediately be updated in BambooHR to either Notice Period or Garden Leave where applicable. Notice Period is defined as the period of work after someone has voluntarily resigned from GitLab. Garden Leave can be found with additional details in the handbook and will be confirmed by the People Business Partner.
People Business Partners are encouraged to provide reasonable notice that an offboarding will be taking place to allow for adequate planning both on the part of the People Experience Team and the Tech Provisioners involved.
In support of the People Experience Teams efforts to remain both compliant and efficient, offboardings which are scheduled to take place on a Friday will see issues being created at the latest 12:00pm PT at which point de-provisioning will commence - in instances where it may be tricky to have cut-off initiated at this time we encourage team members to consider either the preceding Thursday or the following Monday as an alternative.
We encourage an earlier time in the day to start offboarding and in timezones where it is more effective to do so earlier (EMEA and JPAC), we'll do our best to accomodate, but not later than 12:00pm PT. Managers and People Business Partners should account for this in their planning and communicate the same to departing team members.
/pops run offboarding BambooHR_ID_number (not Employee ID #). This number is found in the team member's BambooHR profile URL, after id=. It is a 5-digit number. An example of the command would be /pops run offboarding 00000. If BambooHR's API is down, this ChatOps command will fail and will need to be created manually.Note: If the team member is transitioning to a temporarily positioned contractor, please proceed with the full offboarding and create a separate onboarding issue to grant only specific temporary access for what they would need to fulfill their contractual obligations.
If the team member is on the People Team, the People Experience Associate will need to notify the Total Rewards team in order to have them update the employment status.
IT Ops will follow the below steps to set up an auto-response that notifies the sender that the team member they are trying to reach is no longer with GitLab and who to contact.
former_employees@gitlab.com's email account by selecting the dropdown icon ˇ in the User information section and adding the team member's GitLab email address.Note: Be sure to scroll down and Save this change or it will not be reflected.

During this process, you will receive a prompt to transfer their Google Drive Documents. Please refer to the offboarded team member's Offboarding issue to review if the manager has requested to have Document ownership already transferred to them, or if they have agreed to not receive ownership.
IT Ops check if the team member has created any bots before disabling the account. Go to Slack or on your admin Slack profile click Menu » Configure Apps » Custom Integrations » Bots and search through the bots' list for the team member. If a bot exists, please DM the manager to confirm if the bot should be removed.
The People Experience Associate will navigate to the team.yml file. Using Web IDE or your editor of choice, search the team member name and delete their team page image and replace with ../gitlab-logo-extra-whitespace.png. Don't forget to delete the image by navigating to sites/marketing/source/images/team while still here and search for their image. Ideally saved as firstnamelastname.png. The images are in alphabetical order.
To remove pet entry and any mentions from the handbook and documention, you will need to download the www-gitlab-com project to your computer and use a prefered text editor.
To download;
Clone and copy the clone with SSH URL, git@gitlab.com:gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com.gitgit clone git@gitlab.com:gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com.git

Open Project on the Welcome Guide Page.Find in ProjectThe People Experience Associates in the relevant rotation will complete a weekly audit of all offboarding issues opened within that specific week and check that all tasks have been completed by all Team Member and/or Departments. In the event that tasks are still outstanding, the People Experience Associate will ping the relevant Departments within the offboarding issue to call for tasks to be completed.
Once all tasks have been completed, the People Experience Associate will close the offboarding issue and mark as completed in the offboarding tracker.
All offboarding tasks by all Departments need to be completed within 5 days of the offboarding date. For systems that are more critical and time sensitive, these will be completed within the first 24 hours (example 1Password, Okta, Slack) by the relevant Departments. Information about application & system deprovisioners can be found on the Tech Stack Applications handbook page.
To ensure a successful completion of the offboarding issue, it is important that all tasks are checked off, whether the system/tool is applicable to the offboarding team member or not. Checking the box indicates one of the following:
