# Collect equipment and revoke seats when an employee leaves

_Skileo › Assets · Who can do this: Business owner, Member_

Open the employee's record and its Assets tab: it lists the items they hold and their software seats, with Return and Revoke buttons. A banner shows their last day.

## See what a person has

1. Open “Employees” and click the person.
2. Open the “Assets” tab.

It lists:

- **“Equipment”**: the items they hold, since when, and when a loan is due back.
- **“Software seats”**: the subscriptions they have a seat in.
- **“Before”**: what they had earlier.

## When they leave

When the employee has a departure day, a banner at the top of the tab reminds you to collect every item and revoke every seat by then.

- Click **“Return”** next to an item when you get it back. It becomes “Available”.
- Click **“Revoke”** next to a seat to free it.

To note the item's condition and where it goes, return it from the item's own page instead: see [Give equipment to an employee](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/assign-equipment-to-an-employee).

The departure also shows in the “Coming up” view of “Assets”: one line per person, with everything they still have.

> **Tip**
> Revoking a seat in Skileo doesn't remove the person's account in the software itself. Remove it there too.


## Common questions

### Who sees the Assets tab on an employee's record?

The “Business owner”, and every “Member” with the “Assets” permission. Only those who can change assets see the buttons.

### Does the employee see their equipment?

Not yet. Employees don't see the Assets page or this tab.

### Where does the departure day come from?

From the employee's record in Human Resources, the day set when they are offboarded.
