Both are records against the person, with dates. A device is assigned on a date and returned on a date. A benefit enrolment starts and ends. Allowances that affect pay reach payroll from the same record.
Offboarding lists what is outstanding, because the list is derived rather than remembered.
Because assets are tracked in whatever IT set up, benefits in whatever HR set up, and neither is joined to the personnel record. When somebody leaves, both are checked from memory.
The cost is small per item and consistent: a proportion of every leaver's equipment is never returned, and nobody can say how much.
Offboarding produces an accurate list of what has to come back. Benefits that carry a payroll consequence apply automatically rather than being remembered in the pay run.
And the total cost of employing somebody — salary, benefits, equipment — is answerable without three exports.
It is not an IT asset management system. There is no device management, no software licence tracking and no automated discovery — it records assignment and return.
Benefits are recorded, not administered. Enrolment with a provider still happens with the provider.
Start from the leaver list rather than the joiner list. Recording what current staff hold is a stocktake; recording it at assignment is a process.
Decide whether allowances flow to payroll before importing them, because that decision changes what you need to capture.
Payroll reads allowances and benefits with a pay consequence. Offboarding reads outstanding assets. Nothing else does — this is deliberately narrow, because equipment and benefits data has little use outside HR and finance.
