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. If I separate from federal service for a period but then am rehired, does my sick leave carry over?
Q. I have 10 years of active duty with the Navy from 1988 to 1998. During this time, I spent three months in the Persian Gulf under Operation Desert Shield and three months in the Persian Gulf under Operation Desert Storm. I now work for the post office and have made a deposit on those active-duty years. Do the six months in hazardous duty provide anything toward additional leave?
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 eight years of service but saved 500 hours of sick time. Will I lose this in a reduction in force?
Q. I received a letter from shared services concerning leave without pay taken in 1982 and 1985 for maternity leave. I took over six months’ worth. How can they just now contact me after 31 years? I was never informed by any management that it would affect my retirement comp date, nor did shared services ever contact me to let me know it could have been paid back after all these years. When I called them, they said they do audits of files randomly and mine was picked. It now affects my retirement by one year and four months, which…

Q. I am 64 years old with 9½ years with the Air Force. I am planning on retiring in September. I previously put in for another position closer to home and now may be getting accepted for this new civilian job. Can I retract my retirement and accept this position, or do I have to retire then get reinstated back into the government? I have put in for leave and will be gone for the entire month of September before my retirement date. The new job begins in mid-October. I will not have any more leave after the end of…
Q. I didn’t retire from the military. I was medically separated. So why do I have to do a military buyback for 12½ years in uniform? I have been with the Defense Department for almost 13 years but have received a length of service award for 24 years. Am I missing something here?
