Q. As a prior federal employee from 1975 to 1998, am I entitled to receive annual leave benefits of the higher rate if I take a position with another federal employer?

Q. I am an ATC FERS Front Line Manager who will retire in the next couple of years with 26 years of service. Will I be paid out for accrued sick leave and annual leave? A.

Q.I read that Aug. 1 is a best date to retire. Why not July 31? That is for those who work a 4-5-9 schedule (i.e., Aug. 1 is a non-work flex Friday). A. As a CSRS employee, your only requirement is that you retire no later than the third day of a given month. Whoever wrote that Friday, August 1 was the best day to retire was probably accepting the fact that most employees complete their workweek on a Friday. By leaving at the close of business on that day, they’d receive a full week’s pay. Since you are on…

Q. I am a CSRS employee. If I retire on Friday, Oct. 31, will I accrue my annual leave for that pay period? I will have worked the 80 hours, but technically the end of the pay period is Saturday, Nov. 1. A. You may retire at the end of the day on Friday, Oct. 31, be on the annuity roll the following day, and get credit for the annual and sick leave you earned during that pay period.

Q. I am considering retirement under the MRA+10 provision and postponing my annuity until I reach age 62. If I follow this course, am I eligible to sell back any unused annual leave without penalty?

When I ETS from the Army, I was allowed 30 days of terminal leave with the remainder of unused  annual leave a forced buyout. I had been unable to take leave due to the needs of the Army. Because of that I lost almost a month of BAH, specialty pay, etc. I was told at that time the federal government cannot force more than one buyout of unused…

Q. Is there a minimum number of days per pay period that an employee must work at his assigned duty station (duty station as it appears on the SF-52) to qualify for locality pay in that area? I live in one state, and my wife in another (long story). I try to get home once a month by taking a combination of a few days of annual leave and a few telework days. I have heard that to qualify for locality pay, a person must work in that area a minimum of two days per pay period (which seems more…

Q. Recent legislation entitles FERS-eligible employees to have sick leave credited to their time in service: 50 percent until 2013 and 100 percent in 2014. At the same time, FERS annual leave hours past 240 are not lost but paid in full in completing your last year of employment. Can you clarify that if you retire Jan. 1, 2014, you lose the hours in excess of 240? (I was informed by an HR employee that if you don’t retire Dec. 31, your hours in excess of 240 are not paid even if you retire the next day, Jan. 1 —…

Q. In 2011, I left my civil service job for 175 days to deploy to Afghanistan as an active-duty officer. While deployed, I used a day or two of annual or military leave every pay period to pay for my health care benefits. FERS payments also were made on the days I was on paid leave. When I got back from my deployment, I was told I had to buy back the time, and I put in paperwork with DFAS to do so. However, I just read in my agency’s furlough FAQ that: The amount of a CSRS or FERS…
