This activity is associated with administering civilian personnel separations and retirement. These separations may include (but not be limited to) resignations, terminations, removals, separations due to reduction in force, separations to enter the uniformed services, and deaths. These separations also include those involuntary separations under which the employee may be eligible for discontinued service retirement. Separation includes completing and sending a voluntary civilian separation request to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) with required information, determining whether an employee is eligible to voluntarily separate, issuing and updating checklist items (e.g., tasks and appointments) required to complete the voluntary separation action, obtaining recommendations and approval from the appropriate approval authority, and updating the employee's information to reflect separation approval status. Retirement includes completing and sending a voluntary civilian retirement request to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) with required information, determining whether an employee is eligible to voluntarily retire, issuing and updating checklist items (e.g., tasks and appointments) required to complete the voluntary retirement action, obtaining recommendations and approval from the appropriate approval authority, and updating the employee's information to reflect retirement approval status. There may be no transfer action initiated for a civilian separation or retirement. |
