Admin - How to Deactive/Remove or Offboard a Team Member
Last updated: April 27, 2026
TLDR 🍿
To proceed with an offboarding, it is important for the team member to be assigned to a time off policy and have an active contract and compensation.
Offboarding Step by Step
Locate the People tab on the left side bar. You can click on either: Directory, Team, Org chart . The important thing is to open the team member's profile.
Click on any team member's profile.
On the top right corner of the screen, click on the three vertical dots. And click Offboard.
Offboarding Details
You can come back to the offboarding anytime. Click on the X from the top right of your screen, and select Keep as draft
Under Offboarding type. Select a reason from the dropdown.
Select the Service end date (Service end date is contract end date), or click on the toggle switch to select a different date
You can use the different service end date as a Garden leave:
Ending before contract end date.
Use it whenever it becomes crucial to officiate the offboarding instantly.
You can view a team member's info summary by clicking on the eye icon. Click Continue after filling out the fields
Direct Reports
In this part of the process, if the team member being offboarded had direct reports, you can assign them to another team member. Type the new manager's name.
This will be the person who will approve their requests.
Click Assign
Leave Balances
Cercli allows you to include time off balances for the final team member payout.
Click on the checkbox to include the Annual leave category. Click Continue
Annual Leave Calculations
In the UAE, only Annual leave is eligible for payout.
If their tenure is less than 1 year:
Accrued days = 2 × full months of service
Daily rate = Total monthly salary (basic + allowances) ÷ working days in month
Payout = Daily rate × unused accrued days
If their tenure is 1 year or more: formulas
Accrued days = (30 ÷ 12) × full months of service
Daily rate = Basic monthly salary ÷ working days in month
Payout = Daily rate × unused accrued days
What if I don't want to follow UAE labour law?
You can uncheck the box, and add a payroll adjustment first.
What if I'm not using Cercli's time off module?
You can do the calculations separately and add it.
Gratuity Calculations
You can view calculation details here.
GCC nationals do not accrue for gratuity. This step will be skipped for them in the offboarding workflow.
