Annual leave buyback

August 30th, 2011 | Uncategorized

Q. Is there a cap on the amount of annual leave that can be bought back by the government at retirement?

A. To the best of my knowledge, only the U.S. Postal Service has a limit on the number of hours of unused annual leave for which it will make a lump-sum payment.

Other than the USPS and possibly law enforcement/military, I belive there is a cap on the number of hours of annual leave that you’re paid for at retirement: it is 448 (240 max number of carry over hours plus 208 hours of annual leave earned per year).
