What this worksheet does

Use the Layoff Selection Notes to record facts in a consistent order. Entries stay in this browser unless you export or print them; the website does not receive worksheet data.

Add one row for each event, pay period, clause, request, person, or document. Use short factual phrases and preserve the original source separately.

Before entering sensitive information

  • Use initials or role names when a full name is unnecessary.
  • Do not enter Social Security numbers, account passwords, complete medical files, or private customer information.
  • If the device is shared, export what you need and clear the saved browser copy.
  • A saved worksheet is preparation material, not an agency form or attorney-client communication.
