Administrative Separation

Administrative separation is a process used primarily by military or government organizations to remove individuals from their positions without a formal discharge for misconduct. It can occur for various reasons, such as health issues, inability to meet job requirements, or changes in organization needs. This separation often allows for a smoother exit and can preserve certain benefits. It is different from disciplinary actions, focusing instead on administrative decisions rather than punitive measures. Essentially, it helps organizations manage personnel effectively while navigating complex circumstances.
