Q. I plan on retiring in January 2014. My planned date is Jan. 10. The leave year ends Jan. 11. I have 240 hours carryover and 121 balance from 2013. Will I lose the 121 hours if I go past Jan. 3 for retiring?
A. No. As long as you retire before the end of the leave year, you’ll receive a lump-sum payment for all of your unused annual leave.
