[Query Concerning Credit for Sick Leave]

GAO responded to a request from the Agency for International Development (AID) as to whether an individual reemployed by AID following a period of transfer to a United Nations agency may be credited with sick leave earned while with that agency, as ordered by the Foreign Service Grievance Board. Under the applicable U.S. Code, when the Grievance Board has rendered a final determination in an individual case over which it has jurisdiction, GAO is without jurisdiction to reverse, modify, or otherwise review that ruling. The forum for such review is in the U.S. district courts and, if the time for judicial review has expired, AID must comply with the Grievance Board's ruling in this particular case.
