In your headcount planning scenario, you can propose to terminate an employee. Terminating an employee can archive both the employee and their role.

To propose a termination:

1. From the **Data Sheet** tab, select the row for the person you are terminating.
2. Open the action menu at the left side of the row you wish to edit.
3. Select **Terminate**. The **Terminate person** dialog displays.
4. In the **Terminate Person** dialog, enter the following information:
   - **Last day** - The person's last day in the system.
   - **Announce data** - The date when the departure will be visible in the org chart.
   - **Departure type** - The conditions of the departure.
   - **Backfill job **- Determines whether the position will remain open.
   - **Regrettable **- Whether the departure is regrettable by your org. This information is only visible to users with access to sensitive data.[](https://docs.charthop.com/sensitive-data) [Learn more.](https://docs.charthop.com/sensitive-data)
   - **Reason **- The reason for the termination.
   - **Notes **- Additional notes regarding the termination.
5. Select **Save to Scenario** to save your changes.

Once the scenario is merged to primary and the termination goes into effect, terminated employees cannot be queried in the **Data Sheet**. However, they display in the **History tab **when you filter for departures.
