Parts D and E are used when an employee decides to leave civil service (either by resignation or retirement).  Part E has five blocks: reason for departure (1, this is voluntary and an employee need not give any reason for leaving, but it may be considered should the employee wish to return to civil service), effective date (2, the effective time is midnight unless specified otherwise), signature and date (3 and 4), and a forwarding address (5).  Part D is a yes/no series of boxes to be used by a supervisor; if there are additional or conflicting reasons for departure the reasons are to be included on a separate sheet attached to the SF 52.
