(1) The head of the agency has notified the employees of the proposed termination.
(2) The head of the agency has informed the employees regarding these statutory provisions covering termination and re-enrollment.
(3) A majority of the employees of the agency approve in writing such termination within fifteen days of the notification of the proposed termination.
