Highlights
A Veteran's Administration employee who served nearly 5 months on temporary appointment seeks lump-sum payment for accumulated sick leave. GAO noted that unused sick leave may be credited towards service upon retirement or it may be recredited to employee if reemployed within 3 years from separation. However, claim for lump-sum payment of sick leave may not be allowed. Accordingly, GAO sustains the action of our Claims Division in disallowing Mr. Eitel's claim.
