Bless E-Sign OPM 71 Form For Free

If you are sick, use your sick leave before retiring. If you are far from retirement, remember that your sick leave is your short-term disability insurance. Financially, sick leave is worth more to use it than to add it to your retirement. If you have a valid reason, use it.

The yearly entitlement is based on an employee's ordinary hours of work and is 10 days for full-time employees, and pro-rata for part-time employees. This can be calculated as 1/26 of an employee's ordinary hours of work in a year.

The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) (Public Law 103-3, February 5, 1993), provides covered employees with an entitlement to a total of up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave (LWOP) during any 12-month period for certain family and medical needs. (See 5 CFR part 630, subpart L.)
