Q. Can a career executive carry over more than 720 hours if they retire during the first week of January? I have 800 hours and need to know if that can be paid or if I will lose anything beyond 720 hours.

Q. My T42 appointment is expiring Sept. 30. The original appointment was for more than a year, but a recent extension was for 90 days. Will I be paid for unused annual leave, or should I take it before Sept. 30?
Q. In January 2010, I retired (CSRS) with 35 years of service. In July 2010, I returned to my former agency as a dual-waiver re-employed annuitant. Since that time, I have earned and not used 120 hours of annual leave. At the end of my three years (3,120 hours worked), will I receive a lump-sum payment for these hours, or are they forfeited because payment for these hours would exceed the 3,120-hour limitation?
Q. I plan to retire at the end of the year. I will have about 177 hours of annual leave plus 240 hours. Is it best to use up the 177 hours before the end of the year, or would I get paid for the 177 hours with the 240 hours I have carried over every year?
Q. I’m a full-time regular employee for the Postal Service. I work at a facility that is scheduled to close soon, resulting in the loss of my position. For the past several years, I also have been working part time for the Veterans Affairs health care system. If I transfer to a full-time position at VA, will my FERS contributions, annual and sick leave transfer, too? I’m 52 years old with 32 years of federal service. My minimum retirement age is 56 years.
Q. I have 204 hours use-or-lose and am deployed. If I go over this calendar year deployed, I am told I won’t lose my leave. What is the procedure/process to retain my leave?
Q. If a CSRS employee has the 41 years and 11 months (including military time) and would get 80 percent of his wages in retirement, how much more can he get by continuing to work just for the purpose of adding sick leave to his computation? Is there a cap on the percentage of present wages he can get by adding sick leave? And how much would an extra year or two of work accruing normal amounts of sick leave affect his eventual pension?
Q. My brother retired under FERS disability because he was in need of a kidney and liver transplant. He has since received both organs and is now able to work again. Can he return to work for the federal government again? If so, what benefits will he have to give up?
Q. If I retire Jan 3, 2014, I could have 60 hours of use-or-lose annual leave. Will I get paid for the 60 hours of use-or-lose leave plus the 240 carryover for a total of 300 hours? I have 42 years in CSRS and 3,629 hours of unused sick leave.
Q. I would like to know which date is better for retirement: Jan 3, 2014, or Jan 10, 2014. I am a CSRS employee who will have 32 years and three months of federal service, and four years and four months of military service. I will have accrued 448 hours of annual leave and want to know which date to retire so that I won’t lose any.
