Selling back annual leave

0

Q: I am a letter carrier in the U.S. Postal Service. How much annual leave can I “sell” back at retirement?

A: Because you are a bargaining unit employee, you can only receive a lump-sum payment for any unused annual leave that does not exceed the carryover limit for your bargaining unit. As a rule, that limit is 440 hours.
