Q. Is it legal for an employee to be forced to take leave without pay before using his or her annual or sick leave for being late for work? Supervisors are not allowing the use of sick or annual hours for being late.
Q. I plan to leave my federal civilian position soon but would like to use all of my accrued annual leave at once (I have about 380 hours) and leave on the last day. Do I have a right to make this request for leave? Does it require supervisory approval?
Q. I plan on retiring Jan. 11 or Feb. 22. With the 1 percent raise starting in January, wouldn’t it be better to wait until the February date to get the max from my 240 hours of use-or-lose leave, or would it not make a difference?
Q. I will be retiring at the end of December or beginning of January 2014, depending on your answer. I am a FERS employee who will have about eight years, so my annuity will be small (I retired from the Air Force with 25 years of service). I am thinking it would be better for me to retire Jan. 11, 2014, instead of Dec. 31, 2013, because a full paycheck will be quite a bit more than the monthly annuity, so it would be worth skipping an annuity payment in favor of a paycheck. I just want to make sure…
Q. I am 47 years old with 20 years in the Postal Service and am planning on separating soon. Will I be eligible to keep with my current insurance? How/where do I find how much more my premium will be? Will I get my 400+ hours of annual leave in a lump sum? How long does that take to process? (I can stay employed longer if the lump sum would still be applied to this year’s income for tax purposes.) Would I be eligible for any pension at age 59½? Would my seven months of unused sick leave count toward it?
It’s that time of year when employees start asking, “What’s the best date to retire?” Well, there isn’t a single date that’s best for everybody. Still, there are some dates that are better than others. I’ll explain why. Time of month The rules governing the time of month to retire are different for CSRS and FERS. FERS employees have to retire no later than the last day of a month to be eligible for an annuity payment in the following month; CSRS employees may retire up to the third day of a month and be eligible for an annuity in…
Q. I am a FERS employee and plan to retire Jan. 11, 2014. Since the leave year ends on the 11th, I know I will be paid for the 240 hours of carryover leave I have. I currently also have 178 hours of use-or-lose leave. If I don’t use any more use-or-lose leave, will I get paid for the 178 hours in addition to the 240?
Q. I’m a law enforcement officer and will be subject to mandatory retirement on Jan. 31, 2014. Is there any recourse to not using annual use-or-lose leave by the Jan. 11 cutoff and extending it until Jan. 31, thus cashing out the 240 hours plus what I’m earning in 2013 (approximately 448)?
Q. Since being employed with the federal government, I have been deployed twice in the National Guard. I have bought back all the military service. What effect does buying the military service time back have on the service computation date for annual leave accrual?
