General Instructions for Processing Personnel Actions Subchapter 1. General Instructions 1-1. Authority to Prescribe Reporting Requirements. The Office of Personnel Management s authority to prescribe reporting requirements covering personnel actions is in section 2951, title 5, U.S. Code. Part 9.2, title 5, U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, is based on that statute, and extends this authority to all types of appointments and personnel actions Employee Name. a. Name Used. The general rule on use of a name on an employee s records is consistency: show the employee s name in the same way on all Government records. The name to record on official personnel records for an appointee is the name commonly used in the community where the appointee resides, for example, the name entered on application papers and used for social security records, driver s license, income tax purposes, and bank accounts. If application papers reflect a nickname enclosed in parentheses or quotation marks, it is not considered part of the employee s name for personnel records. b. Recording employee s name. The name is recorded on the Official Personnel Folder and on Notifications of Personnel Action in the following manner: LAST NAME [comma] SUFFIX (Jr., Sr.) [comma] [space] FIRST NAME or INITIAL [space] MIDDLE NAME(s) or initial(s) Examples: DOE, Jr., JOHN NMN MARTIN, M. CATHERINE O REILLY, JOHN F.X. MARTINEZ-SANDOVAL, MARIA ELENA >NO LAST NAME, TAYLOR NMN TAYLOR, NO FIRST NAME NMN< When a personnel document asks for a middle name or initial, and the employee has no middle name or initial, enter NMN. >Do not use abbreviations when entering no first name or no last name on a personnel document. If an employee has a single name, when necessary, ask the employee whether to record it either as the first name or the last name. Refer to the preceding paragraph for examples of the manner in which a single name is recorded (i.e., see examples for Taylor ).< Record apostrophes and hyphens of spaces between double names only as used by the employee. Do not use titles, such as Mr. Ms., Miss, Dr., and Professor, on Notifications of Personnel Action or on the Official Personnel Folder Effective Dates. a. Prior Approval. Except as explained in Table 3-A, no personnel action can be made effective prior to the date on which the appointing officer approved the action. That approval is documented by the appointing officer s pen and ink signature or by an approved electronic authentication in block 50 of the Standard Form 50, or in Part C-2 of the Standard Form 52. By approving an action, the appointing officer certifies that the action meets all legal and regulatory requirements and, in the case of4 3-4 THE GUIDE TO PROCESSING PERSONNEL ACTIONS appointments and position change actions, that the position to which the employee is being assigned has been established and properly classified. b. Setting Effective Dates. Unless otherwise indicated on the Notification of Personnel Action, separations, 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 actions are effective at the beginning of the day (12:01 a.m.). Separations are actions that remove employees from the rolls of their agencies, for example, deaths, resignations, terminations, removals, and retirements. Any action whose nature of action code (NOAC) begins with a 3" is a separation. (1) Follow instructions in Table 3-A to set dates in situations where approval of the appointing officer is required. Use Figure 3-1 to identify Comptroller General Decisions that address effective dates and how they are set in specific situations. (2) Follow instructions in Table 3-B to set dates in those situations where prior approval of the appointing officer is not required Approval of Personnel Actions. a. Requirement for approval. As explained in paragraph 1-3a, most personnel actions must be approved by the appointing officer on or before their effective dates. An appointing officer is an individual in whom the power of appointment is vested by law or to whom it has been legally delegated. Only an appointing officer may sign and date the certification in Part C-2 of the Standard Form 52 or blocks 50 and 49 of the Standard Form 50 to approve an action. b. Delegation of appointing authority. Under 5 U.S. Code 302, the head of an agency may delegate appointing authority to subordinates. Such delegations are generally made to the agency s director of personnel who then redelegates the authority to other members of the personnel staff, as necessary. A delegation of appointing authority may be made to a specific individual or to the incumbent of specific position. The delegation must be in writing and define clearly the extent of the authority being granted, for example, authority to approve all within-grade increase actions. c. Responsibilities of the appointing officer. The appointing officer is responsible for ensuring that each personnel action he or she approves meets all legal and regulatory requirements. He or she is responsible for approving determinations made by recruiters, staffing specialists, personnel assistants, and other personnel office staff with regard to legal authority for the action, including issues such as qualifications, pay, and suitability. The appointing officer makes final preappointment determinations regarding citizenship, veterans preference, minimum and maximum age limits (where appropriate), suitability, qualifying experience and education. In the case of appointments and position change actions (for example, promotions), the appointing officer ensures that the position to which the employee is assigned has been established and properly classified. d. Criteria for selection of appointing officers. Agencies must ensure that appointing authority, that is, the authority to approve and certify actions, is delegated only to persons whose training and experience enable them to review the background material on a proposed action and determine whether it meets the necessary legal and regulatory requirements.5 Chapter 3. General Instructions for Processing Personnel Actions 3-5 Approval of actions is a serious responsibility that should not routinely be assigned to clerical or other technical support personnel who may lack the necessary background and training to make the decision to approve or disapprove an action. A person who has not been a party to the recruitment, qualification, selection, and pay-setting processes on a proposed action, and who lacks information as to how these determinations were reached, cannot and should not be expected to decide whether the specific action meets legal and regulatory requirements. Page 3-6 is blank6 Chapter 3. General Instructions for Processing Personnel Actions 3-7 Subchapter 2. Cancellations and Retroactive Personnel Actions 2-1. Coverage These instructions cover cancellations and retroactive actions to implement decisions, as defined below. These instructions also apply when the employing agency identifies, outside of the decision process, an erroneous or improper personnel action that needs corrective action. Nothing in these instructions, however, authorizes or permits an agency to enter into a settlement agreement that is contrary to the civil service laws or regulations Definitions. a. A decision as referred to in this chapter is: (1) a Court Order; or (2) a decision or order or a settlement agreement reached under the rules and regulations of the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA), the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), or the agency; or (3) an arbitral award, or a decision of an agency head which adopts the recommendations of an agency fact finder; or (4) a settlement agreement between an individual and an agency under circumstances other than those above. b. A cancellation cancels or rescinds an earlier action that was improper, that was proper but contained references to an improper action, or that contained remarks that are inappropriate or erroneous and that should not have been recorded. c. A retroactive action is one which is prepared or processed after the pay period in which it is to be effective. Retroactive actions may be either replacement actions or newly required actions. d. A replacement action is one which takes the place of or replaces a canceled Standard Form 50 when: - Another action is being substituted for the original action (for example, when a 15-day suspension is substituted for a 30-day suspension); or - The original action was canceled because it contained erroneous information and/or inappropriate remarks, but was otherwise a valid action; or - The original action was canceled because it in some way reflected the effects of another personnel action that was also canceled (for example, a change to career tenure that reflects the wrong grade because a previous change to lower grade was canceled). e. A newly required action is a personnel action that is required as a result of a decision or as a result of a cancellation. For example, if a reassignment action was canceled and a replacement action issued for promotion, there might also be the need to issue an action for a within-grade increase for which the employee would have been eligible due to the retroactive effective date of the promotion. f. Improper service or improper assignment is service or an assignment performed in a position or positions to which a decision says the employee should not have been assigned or non-federal service performed during a period of improper separation from Federal service.7 3-8 THE GUIDE TO PROCESSING PERSONNEL ACTIONS g. Void action is an action which should never have occurred because of an absolute statutory bar to it, such as appointment of a male who has not registered, as required, for Selective Service, or because the employee was guilty of fraud in regard to the action or deliberately misrepresented or falsified a material matter. h. OPF (Official Personnel Folder) >[inclusive of an approved electronic equivalent of the same (i.e., eopf)].< The official repository of records and reports of personnel actions effected during an employee s civilian government service and documents and papers required in connection with such actions. i. EPF (Employee Performance File). Performance appraisals and related records maintained in either a separate envelope in the Official Personnel Folder, a separate folder (in whatever office the organization designates), in a supervisor s work folder, on microfiche, in an automated personnel record system, or in any combination of such records maintenance systems. Whatever system or combination of systems the agency chooses constitutes that agency s Employee Performance File System. j. Subject File. A file, separate from the Official Personnel Folder or Employee Performance File, in which material is filed and retrieved by subject or topic, rather than by employee. Examples of subject files found in a personnel office include grievance files and adverse action files. k. An Interim Appointment, Promotion, Within-grade Increase, or Other Interim Action provides relief for an employee who prevails in an initial action before the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). It provides an employee with income during the continuation of the appeal process following the initial MSPB decision Reasons for Cancellations and Retroactive Actions. Cancellations and retroactive actions are most frequently processed to implement decisions resulting from the settlement or resolution of a complaint, a grievance, or an appeal of an adverse action or an arbitral award. They may also be processed when an appointing officer discovers an action the current agency or another agency effected in error (for example, a within-grade increase for an employee who has not completed the required waiting period due to excess time in nonpay status) or an action which should have been processed and was not Implementation of Decision. a. Decisions of the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB.) The Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 (Public Law ) authorizes interim relief for employees who prevail in their initial appeals of adverse actions, performance-based actions, or other appealable actions before MSPB. Any such interim relief ordered by MSPB is effective on the date the initial decision is issued (see 5 CFR , 5 CFR , and Figure 32-3 of this Guide). Stays of personnel actions (including retroactive stays) ordered by MSPB where an individual files an individual right of action (IRA) appeal under the Act, claiming reprisal for having engaged in protected activity, are not considered interim relief. b. Other Decisions. An agency should not delay initiating corrective action in accordance with a decision unless it has sought and been granted a stay. Once the appeals, if any, have been exhausted, the decision must be implemented.8 Chapter 3. General Instructions for Processing Personnel Actions Decisions that Do Not Require Personnel Actions. a. Whether it is prepared in paper or electronic format, a Notification of Personnel Action, Standard Form (SF) 50 is the official record that a personnel action has been effected. The employee s payroll records (including retirement, tax, and thrift savings records), are based on and reflect the salary or pay documented on the employee s SF 50. As a result, when an agency prepares a retroactive, a replacement, or a newlyrequired personnel action (SF 50), the employee who is the subject of the action is entitled to receive the salary or pay shown on that SF 50 (minus the appropriate deductions.) Therefore, when a decision states that an employee is to receive no salary or pay for a particular appointment, position or assignment, the agency should NOT prepare an SF 50. An SF 50 should be prepared only in those instances where the employee is to receive pay and benefits as a result of the action documented on that SF 50. b. When a decision by a third party makes a monetary award to an employee but does not address personnel actions, or change the individual s appointment status, position, or pay (for example, if a decision merely awards a payment of damages but does not require reinstatement of the employee), no personnel actions are to be processed. Send a copy of the decision to the payroll office and place a copy in the appropriate appeal or other subject file. Do not place a copy of the decision in the employee s Official Personnel Folder Decisions That Require Preparation of Personnel Actions. ABSENT AN APPEAL TO A FEDERAL COURT, THE DECISION OF A FINAL ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY IS FINAL AND BINDING. An agency should make every effort, in complying with administrative and judicial decisions, to also comply with applicable civil service rules and regulations. For example, if a decision requires that a new position be established at a particular grade level, the agency establishes a position that would be justified under the position classification standards. In these cases, the employee s SF 50 shows the title, series, and grade directed by the decision and position description number assigned by the agency to that position. A copy of the decision is to be placed in the agency s position classification files along with the position description itself. The position description should reflect duties and responsibilities which are in accord with the title, series, and grade directed by the decision. A copy of the decision is not placed in the employee s Official Personnel Folder; instead, it is placed in the appropriate subject file Responsibilities of the Agency That Prepares Personnel Actions to Implement a Decision or Take Corrective Action. a. Determining the Agency That is Responsible for Preparing Personnel Actions. If the employee concerned is currently employed in the Federal Government, the current employing agency is responsible for preparing and distributing the Notification of Personnel Action (Standard Form 50) to implement a decision9 3-10 THE GUIDE TO PROCESSING PERSONNEL ACTIONS or take corrective action. The current employing agency is also responsible for adding documents to or deleting documents from the employee s Official Personnel Folder in accordance with the instructions in this chapter. (When the decision orders the employee moved to another agency, the agency in which the employee is employed on the date of the decision is considered the current employing agency for the purposes of these instructions.) If the employee has left the Federal service or is employed in an agency which is not subject to title 5 of the United States Code, the agency against whom a decision is rendered or who is a party to the settlement agreement is responsible for preparing and distributing the personnel actions and taking the necessary actions to implement the decision. (The requirement that the current employing agency prepare the paperwork does not mean that the current employing agency must effect/pay a retroactive benefit.) b. Responsibilities. The agency that prepares personnel actions to implement a decision or take corrective action is responsible for: (1) Carrying out any specific instructions in a decision which require the addition or removal of specific documents from the employee s Official Personnel Folder or that direct the preparation and documentation of personnel actions. (Remember, when a decision by a third party awards a payment of damages but does not require a retroactive personnel action, such as a retroactive appointment or promotion, no personnel action is prepared and nothing concerning the payment or decision is placed in the employee s Official Personnel Folder.) (2) Determining which actions must be canceled, which must be replaced, and what actions are newly required. Actions to be canceled and replace include those which would have occurred anyway but which carry information regarding the improper assignment, for example a life insurance change which carries references to an organization to which the employee was improperly assigned. (3) Insuring the reasons for cancellation are explained on the cancellation action and that the retroactive action and related documents in the Official Personnel Folder contain no reference to the reason the action is being processed retroactively - that is, no reference to the error, the grievance, or complaint that is the reason for the retroactive action being processed. The authority cited on a retroactive action is the authority that would have been cited if the action had been processed on or before its effective date. If, on the effective date of the action, the agency would not have had an appropriate authority to take the necessary action (for example, a decision orders the employee assigned to a position in a series for which standards were not issued until a year after the effective date), Reg " is cited as the authority. This is a general do-what-the- decision-says authority and its use avoids the need to cite a specific decision, Court Order, or other document which would identity more specifically the employee s original complaint and result in irrelevant information being placed on the action and in the Folder. This protects the employee s privacy and the usual intent of decisions. (4) Distributing and filing copies of the actions prepared to implement a decision, or take corrective action including: (a) Removing each canceled action and all its supporting documents (including Standard Forms 52) from the employee s Official Personnel Folder and filing them in the appeal or other appropriate subject file,10 Chapter 3. General Instructions for Processing Personnel Actions 3-11 along with the Official Personnel Folder copy of the Cancellation action. Retain the actions as long as the subject file is retained; consult the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Records Schedule to determine how long a particular file must be kept. (b) Sending to each prior Federal employer the payroll copies of cancellations, retroactive action, and replacement actions for the period during which the employee was on the rolls of that agency, along with a letter explaining why the actions were processed or a copy of the decision which required the actions. This will enable the prior employer to make appropriate pay adjustments and to take any other actions necessary to complete the corrective process or implement the decision. (5) Advising the employee in writing that he or she may request a transcript of service be placed in his or her Official Personnel Folder to document the positions to which improperly assigned and any job-related performance awards earned. (See sample letter and transcript in Figure 3-3.) (6) Counseling the employee on the steps the agency will take to implement the decision and counseling him or her on the advantages/disadvantages of placing in the Official Personnel Folder a record of the positions to which improperly assigned. (Figure 3-2 >has instructions for determining< the manner in which this service may be credited for various purposes.) (7) Advising the employee whose Official Personnel Folder contains an application/resume documenting improper service of the need to prepare a new application/resume if he or she does not wish to have improper service documented in his or her Folder. (8) Placing in the employee s Folder the transcript of service if he or she so requests (see paragraphs (5) and (6)) or a corrected application/resume in lieu of one which describes improper service (see paragraph (7).) (9) Deleting all references to the improper service from the records of training and incentive awards earned during the period of improper assignment. (Follow agency instructions to correct the records. Copies of any erroneous records are filed with the decision and cancelled actions in the appropriate subject file.) Note that while references to improper assignments must be deleted, the employee keeps monies received for incentive awards (such as cash awards), as long as the improper assignment was not the result of fraud or a void action. (10) Insuring that records of Federal Employees Group Life Insurance and Federal Employees Health Benefits Program enrollment agree with the employment record resulting from implementation of the decision. (11) Insuring that any necessary changes to records in the agency s Employee Performance File (EPF) system are made, following the instructions in title 5 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 293. (12) Insuring that back pay awards are computed in accordance with title 5 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 550, subpart H. (13) Following instructions issued by the Office of Personnel Management s Retirement >Services office< to prepare/alter the employee s Standard Form 2806, Individual Retirement Record or Standard Form 3100, Individual Retirement Record. (14) Following guidance in title 5 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 630 to resolve questions regarding leave.11 3-12 THE GUIDE TO PROCESSING PERSONNEL ACTIONS 2-8. Counseling and Advising Employees on Documentation of Experience Gained During Period of Improper Assignment. When the employee was improperly assigned or was employed outside the Federal Government as a result of the action addressed by the decision, the person who counsels the employee regarding implementation of the decision should discuss with him or her the potential value for qualifications and career advancement purposes of the experiences gained during the period of improper assignment. For example, if a typist worked in another agency as a secretary while appealing a reduction-in force separation, the secretarial duties could be qualifying for other positions in the Federal Government, and it could be advantageous to have this experience noted in the Folder. On the other hand, if the typist worked as a cashier at a local variety store while appealing a separation, he or she might see no value to this experience being recorded in the Folder. The employee may cite the experience on a future application whether it is recorded in the Official Personnel folder or not. The advantage of recording it in the Folder is that it will be a matter of record there if the Folder is used to identify job candidates or to rate or rank candidates. The disadvantage, of course, is that the presence of this record of service in the employee s Folder serves as a flag to a reviewer that the employee complained, grieved, or filed an appeal and may draw unwelcome attention to the original problem. The decision as to whether or not to record the service in the Folder should be made by the employee on the basis of how valuable he or she feels the experience gained while improperly assigned will be to his or her career advancement plans. Use of dual Standard Forms 50, those which were originally prepared as well as the ones prepared to implement the decision, provides a confusing record of the two periods of service. If the employee chooses to have the period of improper service recorded, the transcript of service provides the most practical means of doing so. The counselor should explain to the employee that he or she is being asked to decide about the record at this time in order to establish a complete record of how the decision is implemented and to insure that after the decision is implemented the Official Personnel Folder reflects as nearly as possible the way in which the employee would like to have his or her service history recorded Advice to Employee Regarding Waiver or Overpayment of Pay. Section 5584 of title 5, U.S. Code, provides for waiver of claim of overpayment of pay to an employee when collection of the overpayment would not be in the best interest of the United States. In the relatively few instances where implementation of a decision results in the employee having received an overpayment, he or she should be advised that the provisions of 5 U.S.C may apply ADP Records and Systems. The agency that implements a decision is responsible for taking whatever action is necessary to insure that its automated personnel records and systems reflect only the corrected employment history and that all references to cancelled actions have been deleted from those records and systems.12 Chapter 3. General Instructions for Processing Personnel Actions Questions Regarding Unusual Cases. An agency s Human Resources Office may refer questions regarding the manner in which personnel actions should be processed to implement decisions to the >Manager, Records Management, Office of the Chief Information Officer by fax at < Refer questions regarding legal issues that must be resolved before actions to implement a decision can be processed to the Office of Personnel Management s General Counsel for resolution. Page 3-14 is blank.13 Chapter 3. General Instructions for Processing Personnel Actions 3-15 Subchapter 3. Electronic Forms and Signatures 3-1. Approvals to Use Electronic Personnel Forms a. Definitions. An electronic form is an officially prescribed set of data residing in an electronic medium that can be used to produce a mirror-like image or as near to a mirror-like image as the creation software will allow of the officially prescribed form or be purely prescribed fields for collecting the data that can be integrated, managed, processed, and/or transmitted through an organization s information processing systems. (1) Form and electronic personnel form mean only personnel-related forms. (2) Electronic form includes both forms that are part of an automated transaction and forms where the image/data elements reside on a computer. b. Using automated technology to create an electronic personnel form. Pursuant to Title 41, Code of Federal Regulations, Part , the General Services Administration (GSA) authorizes agencies to create electronic personnel forms without obtaining prior approval from GSA or the Office of Personnel Management provided the electronic reproduction is complete (contains all instructions and questions); the wording and punctuation of all items, instructions, and identifying information match the current official form; and the sequence and format for each item on the form must be reproduced to the highest degree possible. Additions or deletions of data from the current form require prior approval. Send requests for approval through your agency s Standard and Optional Forms Liaison to: >Manager, Records Management Office of the Chief Information Officer U.S. Office of Personnel Management 1900 E Street, N.W. Washington, DC < The Office of Personnel Management's >Manager, Records Management, Office of the Chief Information Officer< is the program official responsible for: Standard Form 50, Notification of Personnel Action; Standard Form 52, Request for Personnel Action; Standard Form 61, Oath of Office; Standard Form 75, Request for Preliminary Employment Data; and Standard Form 144, Statement of Prior Federal Service. Exception requests should include a sample copy of the form. Each request should also describe how the criteria and procedures in the remainder of this chapter will be met. c. Approval to use electronic forms does not automatically include approval to destroy any paper records that are created. Destruction of source paper records that are converted to electronic media in advance of14 3-16 THE GUIDE TO PROCESSING PERSONNEL ACTIONS the disposition schedules in National Archives and Records Administration General Records Schedule #1, Civilian Personnel Records, must be approved by the Office of Personnel Management and the National Archives and Records Administration prior to actual destruction. Destruction of electronic records covered by Office of Personnel Management authorities must be in accordance with General Records Schedule #1; or by specific agreement with the Office of Personnel Management. The National Archives and Records Administration is the final authority on records disposition schedules. Assistance in interpreting General Records Schedule #1, or in developing record disposition schedules for civilian personnel records not currently covered by a General Records Schedule, may be arranged by contacting: >Manager, Records Management Office of the Chief Information Officer U.S. Office of Personnel Management< 1900 E Street, NW. Washington, DC Criteria for Use of Electronic Forms. a. An agency that stores Official Personnel Folder, Employee Medical Folder, or Employee Performance File forms electronically must store them in such a way that, when a paper copy is needed, that copy looks essentially like the original approved Office of Personnel Management, standard, or agency form. (1) The electronic reproduction must be complete, containing all instructions and questions that appear on the approved form. The wording and punctuation of all items and instructions must be exactly the same as the current version of the form, and the sequence, format and spacing of each item on the form must be reproduced to the highest degree possible. For multi-page forms, each item must print on the same page in approximately the same location as on the original form, but each page may be printed on a separate sheet. The reproduced copy must be printed in black ink on letter size white paper. (2) The agency must be able to produce a paper copy, regardless of the date on which it was originally prepared, when: (a) an employee requests a copy of one or more records in his or her Official Personnel Folder, Employee Medical Folder, or Employee Performance Folder; or (b) an employee separates from Federal service or moves to an agency that does not use electronic forms; or (c) the Office of Personnel Management requests a copy for evaluation or other purposes. (3) Electronic versions of Office of Personnel Management-controlled forms (for example, the Standard Form 50 and Standard Form 52) must use only the data element coding contained in The Guide to Data Standards. b. There must be strict controls on who may originate a document electronically, who may cancel or change it, and who has access to it. c. The agency must certify that all National Archives and Records Administration disposition schedules are/will continue to be met by the electronic forms system. d. Since automated media have vulnerabilities to inadvertent destruction not applicable to paper records, the agency must have a system (processible media or paper) to produce back-up records. The Office of15 Chapter 3. General Instructions for Processing Personnel Actions 3-17 Personnel Management recommends that a back-up file be in a separate computer environment from the primary system off-site if appropriate. e. The system must be able to amend, delete, or add forms, and to add data to individual forms when required to respond to a Privacy Act amendment request or to comply with a settlement agreement or court order. f. In addition to being able to produce paper copies of individual forms upon request (see paragraph 3-2a(2)), an agency must be able to list each existing, electronically-prepared Standard Form 52 and Standard Form 50, by data subject, for at least two years after the date that the electronic form was executed. g. The agency must retain all original signed designation of beneficiary paper forms for the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS), Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), and Federal Employee's Group Life Insurance (FEGLI) program. (Under current procedures, only the signed originals are acceptable when a claim is filed.) 3-3. Authentication Procedures. a. Electronic authentication codes must be unique to the individual and defined only for those whose positions authorize and require them to initiate, sign or clear a personnel action. b. When a person leaves a position for which an authorization code has been issued, the authorization must be cancelled immediately. c. For each form that was cleared or signed electronically, there must be an audit trail to show when and who: (1) signed/approved, (2) cleared, (3) input data to, and/or (4) changed data on the form. d. A complete list of authentication codes and the names and titles of the individuals to whom they have been assigned must be available to Office of Personnel Management evaluators for at least two years after the date of a personnel action. The list must include names, titles, and codes designating persons for whom authorizations have been cancelled, as well as current authorizations. e. The individual with delegated appointing authority remains the responsible official for insuring that authentication procedures and the personnel actions to which they lead are proper and meet the requirements in law Electronic Signatures. a. A personnel action is the official record of employment and authorization of pay to the employee. The action must be approved on or before its effective date; the approval may be documented by a signature in either Part C-2 of the Standard Form 52 or in block 50 of the Standard Form 50. Because effective dates and approvals of personnel actions must be able to withstand administrative and legal challenge, any electronic approval signature system used in Part C-2 of the Standard Form 52 or in block 50 of the Standard Form 50 must be approved by the Office of Personnel Management. b. To be approved, an electronic signature system must include the following features: (1) The electronic signal or symbol adopted as the approving official's signature must be unique to the signer, that is, it must be initiated by methods that distinguish the specific approving official, and it must be under his or her sole control.16 3-18 THE GUIDE TO PROCESSING PERSONNEL ACTIONS (2) The electronic signature must be capable of being verified and must be linked to the data being transmitted, including the approval date (block 49 of the Standard Form 50, Notification of Personnel Action). The date in block 49 must satisfy the requirements for completing block 49 as addressed in the Job Aid in Chapter 4 entitled Instructions for Completing the Standard Form 50 and for Completing Part B (blocks 1-39) and Parts C, E, and F of the Standard Form 52. Control procedures must be in place to insure the authenticity of data on the form, including the electronic signature. Such controls must provide reasonable assurance that deliberate or inadvertent manipulation, modification, or loss of data on the electronically stored form is detected. (For additional information, see National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication B; NIST Special Publication C; NIST Special Publication D; and Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 186-2, Digital Signature Standard at (3) If the electronic signature does not get transmitted when a paper document is generated for the employee or the OPF, the approving official s name and title (name only if Part C-2), preceded by Electronically Signed by: must be printed on the paper document (e.g., block 50 of the SF 50 reads: Electronically Signed by: Hattie Belle-Callis, Director, Human Resources Management). If the approving official s first and last name will not fit in the space allotted for such, show the first initial followed by the last name (e.g., Electronically Signed by: H. Belle-Callis, Director, Human Resources Management. c. Requests for prior approval to use an electronic signature, in lieu of a personally signed paper Standard Form 50, Notification of Personnel Action, or Standard Form 52, Request for Personnel Action, must be submitted to: >Manager, Records Management Office of the Chief Information Officer U.S. Office of Personnel Management< 1900 E Street, N.W. Washington, DC17 Chapter 3. General Instructions for Processing Personnel Actions 3-19 Subchapter 4. The Entry on Duty Process for New Employees 4-1. Appointments to Federal Civil Service Positions. Except for those described in Table 3-B, appointments may not be effective prior to the date of approval by the appointing official. Additionally, appointments to positions in the civil service are effective only from date of acceptance and entrance on duty, unless a later date is stated on the Standard Form 52, Request for Personnel Action, or other approving document Date of Acceptance. Acceptance may be shown by formal acceptance, by entry on duty, or by taking the oath of office. Date of acceptance is the date the applicant accepts, either orally or in writing, the appointment offer. When the employee reports for duty or takes the oath of office, acceptance of the position is acknowledged on that date even though a formal acceptance is not given by the employee Entrance on Duty (EOD). a. Entrance on duty is the process by which a person completes the necessary paperwork and is sworn in as an employee. b. Appointment Documents. The job aid, Appointment Documents and Information, lists materials that a new employee will need. Supplement that list with any documents required by your agency. If necessary, assist the appointee in completing the forms. Encourage the appointee to keep all copies of the personnel and payroll notices he or she receives from the agency. c. Oath of Office. As part of the entry-on-duty process, the employee takes the oath of office. The Standard Form 61, Appointment Affidavit, contains the oath of office (part A) required by 5 U.S.C. 3331, the affidavit on striking against the Federal Government (part B) required by 5 U.S.C. 7311, and the affidavit on purchase and sale of office (part C) that 5 U.S.C requires officers to complete. (1) The form is completed and filed on the right side of the Official Personnel Folder when the employee is first appointed in the Federal Government and for each subsequent new appointment in any agency (including appointment by transfer, reinstatement, and restoration). A Standard Form 61 is not required when there is a change in an employee s status (such as a conversion to a new appointment) as long as service is continuous in the same agency. A new Standard Form 61 is not required when the employing office or agency changes as a result of a transfer of function, either. However, an agency may request that the form be completed even if it is not required. (2) The oath and affidavits are executed when the appointee enters on duty and are given by a notary or by a Federal official or employee of your agency who has, or has been delegated, responsibility to administer oaths (see 5 U.S.C. 2903). United States citizens must swear to or affirm the oath of office and the affidavit in part B; aliens must swear to or affirm the affidavit in part B. Persons appointed as officers must swear to or affirm the oath of office and the affidavits in parts B and C. ( Officers are justices and judges of the United18 3-20 THE GUIDE TO PROCESSING PERSONNEL ACTIONS States and individuals who are required by law to be appointed by the President, a court of the United States, the head of an Executive agency, or the Secretary of a military department; persons appointed as officers are invested by law with authority delegated from the heads of departments or independent establishments.) (3) If the appointee objects to the form of the oath on religious grounds, certain modifications may be permitted pursuant to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Please contact your agency s legal counsel for advice. The jurat at the bottom of the form must be signed by each appointee and completed by the person who administers the oath or affidavits. (4) The Civil Service oath of office in part A contains the phrase defend the constitution. In the case of Girouard vs. United States, 328 U.S. 61 (1946), the U.S. Supreme Court held that the oath of allegiance to the United States of American (taken by all candidates for citizenship) does not in terms require that they promise to bear arms. Explain to any appointee who questions the meaning of, or objects to, that part of the oath that the defend the Constitution phrase in the Civil Service oath of office does not imply that the appointee would be expected to bear arms. (5) Obtain an original and a copy of the Standard Form 61 when the oath and affidavits are executed by cabinet officers and heads of independent establishments, agencies, and offices. After the oath has been taken and the form executed, send the copy to the Department of State. d. The Standard Form 144. The Statement of Prior Federal Service (Standard Form 144) should be completed by each employee new to your agency. It identifies any prior service for which records must be located. e. Personnel Folders. Follow instructions in The Guide to Personnel Recordkeeping to establish a personnel folder for each new employee or to obtain the existing Folder for each employee with prior Federal Service. Use the Guide to file correctly the forms completed during the entry-on-duty process Obtaining Personnel Information from the Prior Employing Agency. a. If the person is being appointed without a break in service from another Federal agency, certain information is needed to process the appointment action. However, the Official Personnel Folder is not usually available for immediate review by the gaining office. In such cases, the information needed for processing the personnel action may be obtained by using the Standard Form 75, Request for Preliminary Employment Data. Personnel information provided on the Standard Form 75 can help prepare an appropriate appointment package for when the candidate enters on duty. b. When a Standard Form 75 is needed: (1) Contact the personnel office that has the person s Official Personnel Folder. To help you find the correct office, ask the appointee where the folder is kept. The information for completing the Standard Form 75 may be received through a telephone call or the form may be mailed to the prior employing office. (2) Refer the completed Standard Form 75 to the personnel specialist for review and then copy any needed data from the Standard Form 75 onto the Standard Form 52, Request for Personnel Action. (3) File the Standard Form 75 received from the losing agency according to agency instructions.19 Chapter 3. General Instructions for Processing Personnel Actions 3-21 Job Aid Appointment Documents and Information Introduction Regardless of whether your agency uses a reappointment package, a type of electronic forms processing, or entry-on-duty orientation session, new employees must complete certain documents and should receive certain employment information.
