Which term means a list of activities to be completed for employees who are leaving the organization?

• A. Separation checklist
• B. Sexual harassment
• C. Shift leader
• D. SMART goal

Answer: (A)

When handling employees who are leaving, you want a structured offboarding process that ensures every required task is completed. The term separation checklist refers to a documented list of activities to be performed for departing employees, such as returning company property, processing final pay and benefits, updating HR records, deactivating system access, and conducting an exit interview. Having this checklist in place keeps procedures consistent, reduces the risk of missing steps, and helps the organization wrap up departures smoothly—important in hospitality where quick handoffs and asset recovery matter. The other terms don’t fit this context: sexual harassment relates to misconduct claims, a shift leader is a job role, and SMART goal is a framework for setting objectives, not a departures process.
