• Validating last working day details, no-dues status, attendance/leave balances, and recoveries

• Ensuring adherence to SLA timelines and accuracy standards for F&F processing

• Maintaining documentation such as SOPs, policy variation matrices, and F&F checklists

• Collaborating with internal teams to reconcile provisions versus liabilities

• Providing transparent communication to separating employees and resolving queries professionally
