Q: I plan to retire Dec. 31, 2011, which is when the leave year ends and will have approximately 300 hours of annual leave. Will I be able to cash out the full amount of 300 hours at retirement, or only 240 hours? If only 240 hours, then I would plan to schedule annual leave before retiring to use up the excess 60 hrs.
A: As long as you retire before the new leave year begins, you will be paid for all those hours of unused annual leave.
