Saved sick leave may increase retired pay As your civilian career in the federal service progresses, your accumulated sick leave can mean a sizable increase in your retirement annuity. Unlike annual leave, sick . leave can be accumulated indefinitely and any amount not used by time of retirement is added to your length of service for purposes of computing retirement pay. Sick leave is earned at the rate of four hours per pay period, or 104 hours per year. Normally, this rate of accumulation more than covers time lost due to routine illnesses, and over a period of time permits a "cushion of sick leave to build up for you to fall back on in the event of prolonged illness or disability. If you are fortunate enough to not have to use all your ek . sick leave during your career, that "cushion will add to your retirement pay. Heres how.

Service Computation Date date is July 10, ("starting) 1952 (your personnel office can tell you yours if you dont already know it), and he has 2,288 hours of sick leave accrued, the equivalent of one year plus 208 hours. Hours of accumulated sick leave are converted to months and days by means of a chart like the one below. The chart shows only amounts of hours that convert to an even number of days; odd hours are rounded off to the next full day. For example, 208 hours convert to one month and six days; hours from 209 through 214 . With the one year, one month and six days of accumulated sick leave added in, his retirement income would be increased by $520 or $43.33 per month. If his salary had been more, or less, the effect produced by his accumulated sick leave would vary convert to one month and seven days. 2080 hours equal one year.
