Option 5: Reassign And Transfer. The second separation memorandum sample is more flexible for addressing all kinds of terminations. Write it ahead of time and have your attorney or Hr Workforce review it before you ever schedule the dismissal meeting. o How do you feel about your coworkers in the department?
