[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HR is wrong I think especially if his other clerks were able to as that means he likely puts his clerks under the leave. You should be able to carry over your sick leave and also get credits towards vacation accrual.

I was a law clerk, then a career attorney, then had kids and didn’t work, then was a political appointee. I was able to get my time served and sick leave transferred over. It meant I hit the three test mark for vacation accrual a few months after I started from my first job.

This is a big deal so you need to persist on this [/quote]

Agree it is a big deal. Not just for vacation purposes. If you stay at your agency to retirement, the clerkships mean an extra 2.2 percent of your high-three salary in your pension. And you’d also have more seniority if your agency every had RIFs.

I was in a similar situation, but with three years of clerkships. It took my agency 3.5 years to get the necessary documents from the two different courts, but eventually I got the credit. I “checked in” with HR every six months just to keep the fire lit. [/quote]
