Request for Recovery of Former Employee Files

Purpose/Scenario

In the event an employee leaves without being able to move business files to a shared space, IT may be able to assist in locating the missing files.

IT will only respond to requests that come from the department head or data owner. 

Needed Information

The department head or data owner will need to provide the following information:

  • The name of the former employee
  • The subject of the files
  • Where the files need to be stored at permanently 
    • This location needs to be a department drive or sharepoint site

Note: If we have already started the wipe on the computer, we will NOT be able to recover ANY files.
