[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taking leave without pay still counts towards your total service time. You could theoretically take 5 months of leave without pay, come back for one month (or maybe even less), and reach the 10 year mark.[/quote]

Are you positive about this?  I was told that LWOP and furious affect your retirement dates. However SL and AL do not. [/quote]

OP--I too thought that LWOP beyond a pay period or something in a year didn't count, and would move your "Service Computation Date."[/quote]

Every benefit is affected differently by LWOP. For retirement, up to six months in a year LWOP can be counted. But it might impact your high 3 since your salary will be reduced.   Here is a good chart:

There was a guy at my agency who was on LWOP for 5 months and 29 days, came into the office one day, did another 5 months and 29 days, etc. I forget the situation, but it stuck in my mind as quite a loophole.[/quote]
