Offboarding Contractors and Consultants

Steps and considerations when offboarding contractors or consultants

This article applies to: Managing Vendors and Consultants

Step 1: Submit an offboarding request

Submit a CIT Offboarding Request, providing the department, supervisor’s name, and end date. This process handles the return of CITSG-managed computers and equipment, removes access to service management tools, and removes access to support groups. For staff, this is already entered by HR to the SMO; for contractors, however, this is not requested by HR and needs to be submitted by the accountable manager.

Step 2: Remove access permissions

Managers are responsible for removing any job-specific access that was initially procured to their own resources, applications, and active directory groups owned by the manager or team. A list of access may exist within your team’s article titled “Guidelines for {Team Name} Knowledge,” which can be found in the knowledge base section “CIT - Internal Team Documentation” by navigating to your team’s category. 

Step 3: Remove any additional access

Remove access for additional systems or services that you initially requested of other teams for resources and applications that other teams own and manage. 

Step 4: Remove Net ID clearance

Once the steps above are completed, remove Net ID clearance by contacting provisioning.
