After receiving the initial Notification of Affected Status letter, the department will review the status of each affected employee and determine whether the employee will remain on Affected Status or not. After the review, the employee will receive an Official Notification of WFA Status letter. The letter will outline which of the possible scenarios applies to the employee:   
 

1. DECLARED SURPLUS – the department will notify the employee that their position is eliminated and will be declared Surplus with the Guarantee of a Reasonable Job Offer (GRJO);
2. DECLARED AN OPTING EMPLOYEE (NO GRJO) – the department will notify the employee that their position is eliminated and they are declared an Opting employee, where they will have 120 days to choose one of the three options found in Appendix D of the WFAD; or
    
3. DECLARED UNAFFECTED - the department has decided the employee is no longer affected and that they will be retained within the public service either in their current or new position.
