Cause

This is an expected behavior when the attachments field is not configured for Job Information or the logged-in user does not have permission to view or edit that field, but the workflow initiator added the attachments to Job Information, then system loads the attachment into the Employment Information attachments field in the Termination UI.

Resolution

Attachment field in the termination portlet is derived from the attachment field in the job info when the attachment is recently added to Job Information.

This behavior is further explained in the Implementation Guide: Terminating an Employment
