How to Review Device Access After an Employee Returns From Leave

11/12/2026

An employee returning from extended leave may use a device that missed updates or retains stale sessions. At the same time, legitimate access may have been suspended or changed during the absence.

What to check

Check device compliance, patch and encryption status, account state, authentication factors, role assignments, and any temporary delegation. Confirm the device is still assigned to the returning employee.

Recommended next step

Restore only required access after the device meets current policy. Revoke temporary access that is no longer needed and verify synchronization with endpoint and identity systems.
