[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took no sick leave at all during my federal career, and my sick leave was added my length of service for pension calculation purposes, resulting in a larger lifetime pension.  I was rarely actually ill, and when I was, or when I needed to go to a Dr's appt., I just took annual (vacation) leave, as only a limited amount of that could be rolled over from year to year and the excess would be lost if not used.

so, you gave the federal government a years salary back (at your highest salary!) in return for a 1.1% higher pension payment. bless you and your math acumen. 😭[/quote]

You can take leave and have a smaller pension, or you can not take leave and have a higher pension in perpetuity.  Your annual income while employed is exactly the same in either scenario until you run out of leave to take.  You do work more hours under the second scenario, but you are compensated for it later through your pension.  There is no additional compensation for taking sick leave, just the ability to not work those hours.       [/quote]
