Hires & cases
When someone leaves: the job ends, the family moves out
Record the end of the employment and the move out of the country; Settio adds the steps with their dates, stops salary checks, and tells you when the case is ready to close.
- 1Leaving…On the person's page, ⋯ → Leaving… (or Leaving… on the Permit card). Record that the employment ends (last day and reason), that the household moves out (the moving day, whether they leave the country and for how long, whether their goods are shipped), or both. Save again to change a date; the open steps move with it.
- 2The employer's stepsAn employment end adds the follow-ups: tell the employee about the time to find a new employer where the country gives one (in Sweden, about three months after the last day), the employment certificate, reporting the end, and the family's permits when there is a family.
- 3The household's stepsLeaving the country adds a Leaving area to Relocation in the Case file tab and the employee's My move with the country's own steps. In Sweden: Skatteverket a week before (for a year or more abroad), notice on the lease (from the signed home's contract when known), the move-out inspection and deposit, insurance and a-kassa, next spring's tax return and, when the policy covers the move home, the shipment. Each child in preschool or school, and each child under 16 for child benefit, gets their own step.
- 4Monitoring stopsSalary checks stop after the last working day (or the day they leave the country, if earlier); a last month that ends part-way isn't compared with the permit's salary. After that day there are no permit-expiry or extension alerts.
- 5A new job insteadDuring the window the employee's portal says how long they have and offers I found a new job. Their report waits under Details → History: Confirm opens the change of employer pre-filled, Dismiss clears it.
- 6Ready to closeOnce they have left (or the window passed with no new job) and nothing about leaving is open, the person shows under Ready to close on Home. Close case closes the family's cases too, and the retention period counts from that day. With several on the list, tick them (or Select everyone) and Close N people; anyone no longer ready stays open. To have Settio close them overnight, choose after 7, 14, 30 or 60 days on the list in Settings → Company details → Close people who are ready to close (off by default; for an agency's clients, the agency's setting applies).
Your HR system can report an employment end: POST /api/v1/employment-changes with kind "employment_end", lastDay and reason.
The employee can tell you themselves: Tell us if something changes → Leaving the country.
Not leaving after all? Open Leaving… and choose Not leaving after all: finished steps and steps holding a file stay.
