Comments:
Section 9901.610 – The Proposed regulation allows the Secretary to separate from service any employee who volunteers to be separated even though the employee is not otherwise subject to a reduction in force. For each employee who volunteers to be separated, the Secretary may retain an employee in a similar position who would otherwise be separated in a RIF. An employee who volunteers for separation in these circumstances would be considered to be involuntarily separated in a RIF, thus qualifying for severance pay under OPM regulations.
