Unused Sick Time for Federal Employees
Position: Currently, federal employees under
the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) get no credit for
unused sick time upon retirement. However, federal workers under
the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) do get credit for
unused sick time. This discrepancy is unfair to some federal
workers and it causes an incentive for FERS workers to use up
their sick time as retirement approaches, costing the government
millions of dollars in lost efficiency. Congress should address
this growing problem by passing HR 5573, a bill that would grant
FERS retirees a one-time payment of 15 percent of the hourly
rate of their final salary for any sick leave balance of more
than 500 hours, up to $10,000.

Department of Defense (DoD) facilities… now!
