Q. I am a 20+year Postal Service employee. I had an on-the-job injury and have been on leave without pay and receiving workers’ compensation for two years. Recently, I was separated from the Postal Service due to being on the Office of Workers’ Compensation Program rolls for more than a year. My last pay stub shows I have 190 hours of annual leave. Should I be paid for this now that I’ve been separated?
A. Yes, you are entitled to a lump-sum payment from your former agency.
