Exit Interview Form

Use a EXIT INTERVIEW FORM template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What the Exit Interview Form records

The Exit Interview Form records an employee’s feedback and departure details when employment ends. HR typically uses it to document reasons for leaving, workplace feedback, return-of-property confirmations, and follow-up needs, while the employee and authorized representatives review or sign the record. With signNow, upload the form, let the platform detect fillable fields, add missing fields, route it to the required people, and retain the completed document with an audit trail. The form supports a consistent offboarding record, but employers should apply their own privacy, retention, and state-law policies.

Who uses the Exit Interview Form

The form is most useful for organizations that need consistent departing-employee feedback, controlled signatures, and a retrievable offboarding record.

  • Small businesses can send one Exit Interview Form from an HR template, collect the departing employee’s responses, and retain the signed record without paper routing.
  • Healthcare employers can limit access to employment feedback and related health information, using a HIPAA workflow only when protected health information is genuinely included and a BAA is required.
  • Enterprise HR teams can route forms by department, use shared templates, and connect records with Microsoft 365, Salesforce, NetSuite, or other approved systems.

These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Exit Interview Form troubleshooting

Resolve field, routing, plan, privacy, enforceability, and storage questions before distributing the completed Exit Interview Form.

Upload the original Exit Interview Form PDF again, then inspect detected fields before sending. Add any missing employee, manager, date, or signature fields manually so every required response is captured.

Use signNow’s routing controls to place the departing employee and manager in the intended order. Confirm each recipient’s email address and assigned fields before sending the form for signature.

The Business plan includes legally binding eSignatures and audit trails at $8/user/month when billed annually. Its subscription includes 100 signature invites per user per year, with overage fees after that allowance.

For employee records containing protected health information, signNow identifies HIPAA compliance as requiring a business associate agreement. Confirm that agreement and your employer’s privacy policy before including PHI.

Electronic validity depends on intent, consent, signer attribution, and retaining a reproducible record under ESIGN and applicable UETA rules. Consumer-facing workflows also require the disclosures described in 15 U.S.C. §7001(c).

Export the completed Exit Interview Form and audit trail from the authorized signNow account, then place both in the organization’s controlled HR repository. Apply the employer’s retention schedule and access restrictions.
