Leaving an employer
A workforce connection does not expire, and it does not close when your job ends — when your employer records the end of your employment, that closes your employment period, not the connection. Ending the connection is a step you take yourself, at any time, without asking your employer.
End the connection
Section titled “End the connection”- Go to Settings → Associations → Employer.
- On the Active sub-tab, find the employer and select End.
- A confirmation appears, naming the employer and warning that they will lose access to information shared through the connection, including visibility on their workforce roster. Confirm it.
The connection moves to the Ended sub-tab, with the date. The employer’s page under Workforce → Employers does not have an end button — it links you to Settings.
What happens the moment it ends
Section titled “What happens the moment it ends”- The connection status becomes ended, with the reason recorded as employee left, and the end date stamped on it.
- Both consent scopes are cleared to
false. - The employer workspace stops loading anything about you. Your worker page no longer opens, and you move off their roster to their History list, which shows the email address the invitation was sent to, your first job title, Employee left, and the end date.
- Lexpoint emails both sides: your employer’s contact for the connection, and you. Your confirmation email follows Lexpoint’s own settings, so an employer cannot disable it.
- The change is written to an append-only audit record, with the scopes in force immediately before.
What it does not do
Section titled “What it does not do”- It does not delete the employment periods your employer recorded, or any letter they already issued. Those are the employer’s own business records.
- It does not touch anything in your account. Your profile, ImmiReport, documents, and any case were never part of the connection.
- It does not notify anyone other than the two parties.
Letters after the connection ends
Section titled “Letters after the connection ends”New letter requests, and refreshing a draft, need an active connection — both fail with This connection is no longer active once it has ended. A letter that was already issued stays on Workforce → Letters under Issued, and you can still download it.
The states a connection can be in
Section titled “The states a connection can be in”| State | What it means | Where you see it |
|---|---|---|
| Active | The connection is live and consent is in force | Settings → Associations → Employer, Active |
| Suspended | Paused. Nothing about you loads in the employer workspace, but it has not ended. You can still end it | Active, with the state shown on the card |
| Ended | Closed. When you end it yourself, the reason recorded is employee left | Ended |
| Revoked | Closed | Ended |
Ended and revoked connections stay on the Ended list with their dates, so you keep a record of who you were connected to and when.
If you never accepted in the first place
Section titled “If you never accepted in the first place”An invitation you did not accept is not a connection, and there is nothing to end. It stays on Pending until it expires after 14 days, or until your employer cancels it. See Accepting a workforce invitation.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need my employer's permission to end a workforce connection?
No. Ending it is yours to do, from Settings, and it takes effect immediately. Lexpoint notifies your employer that it ended, but they cannot stop or reverse it.
Does leaving my job end the connection automatically?
No. When your employer records that your job ended, that closes your employment period — the connection stays active. Ending the connection is a separate step you take in Settings.
Can I undo ending a connection?
No. To reconnect, your employer sends a new workforce invitation and you accept it again, which creates a new connection with a new consent record.
Will my employer be told that I ended the connection?
Yes. Lexpoint emails the person at the employer who set the connection up, and emails you a confirmation. The employer cannot switch off your confirmation email.
