Hi,

A full and final settlement related suggestion needed.

**Majority of employees of company are are spread out across all over India, and with more local lockdowns its becoming very difficult to get office assets in time and F&F settlement is not happening in expected days.**

**What would be better ways to for a HR to manage this?** please share solved experiences

Hi @Chitra

I have read in a lot of forums people facing the same issues.

Sharing some suggestions that I have read across:

- Make changes to your existing FnF policy and Exit checklist in accordance to current need (since wage code is delayed to implement, your free to make these changes in FnF).
- Look out for ways to collect assets from employee (likely ask them to handover with near by employee or partner with courier agencies)
- Rest all other formalities can be done online, so a proper tool in place should help.
