Voluntary Resignation Form
Collect every voluntary departure formally before the offboarding clock starts.
HR teams that accept resignations informally end up with inconsistent records and miss the details that matter for retention. An undocumented departure creates gaps in employment records, payroll handoffs, and the exit feedback your organization needs to improve. Typeform's voluntary resignation template gives HR teams a consistent way to document every voluntary departure from first notice onward.
The form captures employee details, last working day, reason for leaving, notice period, and handover arrangements in one submission. Questions appear one at a time, so employees move through the resignation process clearly without wondering what to include. Conditional logic adapts follow-up questions based on the employee's stated reason for leaving. An employee departing for a new role sees different follow-up questions than one leaving for personal reasons.
Customize the form to include your organization's notice period terms, handover requirements, and any final approval steps. Send it to the resigning employee via direct link or trigger it automatically as part of your offboarding workflow. Submissions log in Google Sheets or Airtable via Zapier, so your team tracks departure trends and open offboarding tasks. Replace ad hoc resignation emails with a process that gives your organization the documentation and data it deserves.
A voluntary resignation form is a structured digital document that formally records an employee's intention to leave an organization. It collects the employee's details, last working day, reason for leaving, notice period, and handover notes in a single submission. It functions as the official departure record your HR team uses to initiate offboarding and maintain accurate employment documentation.
Informal resignations leave HR without a consistent, documented record of the departure. A structured form ensures every resignation captures the same information, so your team processes offboarding, payroll, and access revocation without chasing missing details. It also creates a searchable record your organization can reference if a departure becomes subject to a legal or compliance query.
A complete voluntary resignation form covers:
- Employee full name, role, and department
- Direct manager's name
- Formal last working day
- Reason for leaving (dropdown or short answer)
- Notice period confirmation
- Handover responsibilities and key contacts
- Outstanding benefits or entitlements to address
- Employee signature and submission date
Export submissions to Google Sheets or Airtable and filter by departure reason to identify patterns across roles, departments, or time periods. Use that data to flag recurring themes, such as limited growth opportunities or compensation concerns, and bring them to leadership with supporting evidence. A structured resignation record turns individual departures into organization-wide retention intelligence.
The completed submission triggers your offboarding checklist: IT access revocation, payroll adjustment, equipment return, and final pay calculation. Route the form to the employee's manager and HR business partner simultaneously via Zapier so both parties start the handover process without delay. Keep the submitted form on file as part of the employee's permanent employment record.

Bank Reference Form
A reference request faxed to a bank branch and left sitting in a queue for weeks isn't the kind of turnaround a landlord or business can wait on. Collect the applicant's signed authorization and the specific details you need confirmed before the request even reaches the bank, so a decision isn't stuck behind a letter that hasn't come back yet.

Work From Home Request Form
A Slack message asking to work from home on Thursday isn't a request anyone can track, especially once the same employee has asked five different ways over a month. Collect the request type, dates or schedule, and manager approval in one place, so HR isn't reconstructing who's working where from a scattered inbox.

Return of Property Form
A property checklist stapled to an exit interview packet isn't a record anyone can rely on when a laptop turns up missing three weeks later. Collect itemized equipment details, condition at return, and a signed acknowledgment before an employee's last day, so IT isn't chasing down a laptop that already walked out the door.

Bar Inventory Form
A bottle count eyeballed at the end of a shift and scrawled on a paper sheet doesn't hold up against a pour cost report that says something doesn't add up. Collect what your bar actually needs, item, count, and variance, on a schedule you can actually compare week to week.

Early Retirement Form
A retirement mentioned to a manager in conversation doesn't give HR anything to actually process, and if there's an incentive deadline attached, the date that conversation happened can matter more than anyone realized at the time. Collect what your HR team actually needs, employee information, requested date, and benefit elections, before a window closes.
