What should be done with alarm and safe codes after an associate is terminated?

The correct approach to handling alarm and safe codes after the termination of an associate is that these codes must be deleted immediately. This procedure is vital for maintaining security within the establishment. When an associate is terminated, they no longer have the authority to access sensitive areas or funds, and retaining their access codes poses a risk of unauthorized access. By deleting these codes right away, the management ensures that only actively employed associates have access, thereby protecting the integrity of the workplace and its assets.

Other options suggest retaining or continuing the use of the codes, which could lead to security vulnerabilities, or changing them monthly, which does not address the immediate need for safeguarding sensitive information after a termination event.
