There may come a time when a supervisor must deal with the death of an employee who worked directly for them. Prepare an SF 52, Request for Personnel Action , and Time and Attendance Sheet on the first workday after the death. Arrange for turn-in of any Government property assigned to the employee and for organizational clearance.
Personal property is secured and disposed of.
Notify the appropriate Union official. Contact the Employee Assistance Program for guidance in working with the employee's family or other close friends. In addition, brief grief counseling or intervention may be appropriate for co-workers.
