We recommend that the Office of Global Operations, in coordination with Office of Volunteer Recruitment and Services and Office of Records Management, develop a records retention policy for files related to administratively separated or resignation/earlytermination in lieu of administrative separation Volunteersthat allows the agency to use this documentation in the applicant adjudication process .

We recommend that the Director require all records related to administratively separated or resignation/early termination in lieu of administrative separation be maintained until a records retention schedule is implemented.

We recommend that the Office of Volunteer Recruitment and Services update the 108 administratively seperated Volunteers from fiscal year 2011 and 2012 to ensure their records contain all of the necessary information, including seperation memos, to aid in future application reviews.
