What Happens to Your Benefits When You Resign

This varies by country and employer, but a few things are worth checking before your last day.

1. Confirm your exact health insurance end date and COBRA or equivalent continuation options if applicable.
2. Check vesting schedules for any equity or retirement matching before finalizing your last day.
3. Ask HR directly about unused PTO payout policy — this varies significantly by location and company.
4. Get details on how and when your final paycheck will be issued in writing.
