Return Company Property When You Resign
Returning company property cleanly protects your final paycheck, access offboarding, and professional reputation. Document what you returned and when.
Common items
Laptop, phone, badge, keys, cards, uniforms, tools, samples, documents, and any MFA keys. Delete personal data from devices only as policy allows.
How to hand it off
Use a written checklist, get a receipt or email confirmation when possible, and do not hold property hostage over disputes—raise pay issues separately with HR.
Access
Expect accounts to be revoked on or after your last day. Move personal contacts off company systems before then.
