Sf-50 Notification Of Personnel Action Download
Dibe Naro
An agency is required to use the RIF procedures when an employee is faced with separation or downgrading for a reason such as reorganization, lack of work, shortage of funds, insufficient personnel ceiling, or the exercise of certain reemployment or restoration rights. A furlough of more than 30 calendar days, or of more than 22 discontinuous workdays, also is a RIF action. (A furlough of 30 or fewer calendar days, or of 22 or fewer discontinuous workdays, is an adverse action.)
- An introduction that explains the personnel actions covered by the chapter, and definitions of those actions
- Step-by-step instructions on how to process the action, including decisions to be made and actions to be completed
- Tables to help you select the correct information to put on the SF-52 and the SF-50
Unless otherwise indicated on the Notification of Personnel Action, separations, personnel actions to terminate grade and pay retention, and Opt Out Phased Employment/Retirement actions are effective at the end of the day (midnight). All other personnel actions are effective at the beginning of the day (12:01 a.m.).
The remarks used to document personnel actions are standardized, and agencies may not change or alter a remark listed in this Guide without the prior approval of OPM. Agencies may supplement the remarks to explain actions. The circumstances under which agencies may not supplement remarks are as follows:
The first four blocks on the SF 50 list the employee's name, Social Security Number, date of birth, and the effective date of the personnel action. The effective date (Block 4) is important for annuity purposes (as an employee nears retirement) as it is the beginning date used to calculate how long an employee has held a particular pay rate for "high-3" purposes under either of the retirement systems (FERS or CSRS).
