For more detailed information on credit for unused sick leave at the time of retirement, you should contact your current employing or personnel office.  \nCredit for Unused Sick Leave  \nAs an employee under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS), if you (1) retire on an immediate annuity or (2) die leaving a widow, widower, or former spouse entitled to a survivor annuity, your service will be increased by the days of unused sick leave to your credit under a formal leave system. The days of unused sick leave that are added are used only in counting your number of years and months of service for annuity computation purposes. The sick leave cannot be used in computing your “high-3\" average salary or for meeting the minimum length of service for retirement eligibility.  \nIn general, if your leave system charges 8 hours of sick leave for 1 day’s absence, 8 hours of unused sick leave constitutes 1 day of credit. Days are converted to months and years on the basis of a 2087 hour work year. To compute the additional credit for sick leave at retirement, add the months and days of sick leave to the months and days of all periods of actual service.  \nFor example:  \nActual service 30 years, 4 months, 16 days  \n*Sick leave at retirement: 4 months, 24 days  \nTotal credit: 30 years, 9 months, 10 days  \nOnly years and full months of service are used in the annuity computation. Odd days are dropped. In the example, the 10 days would be dropped. You can use the conversion table to find the additional service time credit provided by unused sick leave. If your regular tour of duty is other than an average of 8 hours per day, you cannot use this table; you should check with your personnel or payroll office on how to convert unused sick leave into additional service.  \n* Using the table, 835 hours of sick leave converts to 4 months and 24 days of credit.  \n\n| Table for Converting Unused Sick Leave Into Additional Service |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Months | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |\n| 0 | 0 | 174 | 348 | 522 | 696 | 870 |\n| 1 | 6 | 180 | 354 | 528 | 702 | 875 |\n| 2 | 12 | 186 | 360 | 533 | 707 | 881 |\n| 3 | 17 | 191 | 365 | 539 | 713 | 887 |\n| 4 | 23 | 197 | 371 | 545 | 719 | 893 |\n| 5 | 29 | 203 | 377 | 551 | 725 | 899 |\n| 6 | 35 | 209 | 383 | 557 | 731 | 904 |\n| 7 | 41 | 215 | 388 | 562 | 736 | 910 |\n| 8 | 46 | 220 | 394 | 568 | 742 | 916 |\n| 9 | 52 | 226 | 400 | 574 | 748 | 922 |\n| 10 | 58 | 232 | 406 | 580 | 754 | 928 |\n| 11 | 64 | 238 | 412 | 586 | 760 | 933 |\n| 12 | 70 | 244 | 417 | 591 | 765 | 939 |\n| 13 | 75 | 249 | 423 | 597 | 771 | 945 |\n| 14 | 81 | 255 | 429 | 603 | 777 | 951 |\n| 15 | 87 | 261 | 435 | 609 | 783 | 957 |\n| 16 | 93 | 267 | 441 | 615 | 789 | 962 |\n| 17 | 99 | 273 | 446 | 620 | 794 | 968 |\n| 18 | 104 | 278 | 452 | 626 | 800 | 974 |\n| 19 | 110 | 284 | 458 | 632 | 806 | 980 |\n| 20 | 116 | 290 | 464 | 638 | 812 | 986 |\n| 21 | 122 | 296 | 470 | 644 | 817 | 991 |\n| 22 | 128 | 302 | 475 | 649 | 823 | 997 |\n| 23 | 133 | 307 | 481 | 655 | 829 | 1003 |\n| 24 | 139 | 313 | 487 | 661 | 835 | 1009 |","cbCaiugw9dU82bab","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiugw9dU82bab","pdf",170067,"English","# Introduction\n# Credit for Unused Sick Leave\n## Converting Unused Sick Leave into Additional Service\n## How to Use the Conversion Tables\n# Additional Information","[{\"question\":\"When does unused sick leave get credited under CSRS?\",\"answer\":\"Unused sick leave is credited when a CSRS employee retires on an immediate annuity or dies and leaves a widow, widower, or former spouse entitled to a survivor annuity.\"},{\"question\":\"What limits apply to using credited sick leave at retirement?\",\"answer\":\"Credited sick leave is used only to count years and months of service for annuity computation.
