Of course, use Comments if they are required for your case, but if it's an routine lay off due to shortage of work - a CODE A should suffice.

With the increased need for many to work from home starting last week, many organizations (including ours) noticed the increase of cyber attacks and phishing emails sent to individuals on our teams. Amidst the Global COVID-19 pandemic, unfortunately, we need to keep our wits about us and safeguard ourselves in more ways than one. Below are a few tips for you to share with your team and staff (working onsite or remotely): - Phishing Emails always come with a link or "confirm..." button. Hover over (but don't actually click) the link to see if the address the link is going - Suspicious Attachments & Links - Do NOT click on links or open attachments - Fraudulent Funds Payment Requests Beware of requests for money transfers or gift-card purchases coming from seemingly authentic manager emails. - General Awareness - If an employee suspects anything that seems out of the ordinary, go to the source directly or confirm the suspicion with a manager before taking action.
