Up until recently only CSRS system employees received credit towards retirement for unused sick leave. It isn't uncommon for a federal employee with 30 or more years service to accrued in excess of one year, 2087 hours, of sick leave.
FERS employees will only receive a 50% credit if they retire before January 1, 2014. In general, if your leave system charges 8 hours of sick leave for I day's absence, 8 hours of unused sick leave constitutes I day of credit. Days are converted to months and years on the basis of a 2087 hour work year.
