[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they decide to fire you, you should just resign immediately. Annual leave is paid out.[/quote]

This would only be good advice if you are being fired for cause.  It is terrible advice if you are a fed worker and not being fired for cause.

If you are RIFed without cause (i.e. your agency is downsizing but there is nothing wrong with your performance) various things kick in such as severance or discontinued service retirement  (DSR) and you still get the lump sum for unused leave.  Not resigning and letting the RIF occur also allows for credit for unused sick leave if you qualify for DSR.

If you are terminated with cause you still get your vacation pay you have accrued.  You don’t get sick leave.

So the COA depends on why the firings are occurring.

Notwithstanding the above, if you’ve given notice of quitting/retirement prior to leave, I’m not sure why an agency would bother with RIFing you or firing you for cause.  It seems more likely they’d just let the clock run out.[/quote]
