   For those that are diligent enough to be able to bank their sick leave losing it at the very end of a industrious career is a travesty.

   As a 37-year veteran of the Postal Service, I've been very sparing in my use of sick leave. As a result, I have a sizable amount of leave banked up. I believe it is the right thing to do to allow us to be credited for that time. It make a lot more sense than "use it or lose it".

    I'm retiring December 31 of this year. I haven't misused my sick leave and it would be fair and just if I could get the same credit that CRSR retiring folks get.

    I hope that the addition of unused sick leave applies to those FERS amployees that are already retired especially now that SS
    is not giving COLA increases this year.

    Please do all you can to pass this bill. I have about 2100 hours of sick leave and really do not want to take it for something other than sick due to the fact if not taken will lose it.

    I'm a Federal Employee under this retirement system and think should be the same as CSRS. Hear that some people are using this up in lieu of annual leave. You know as I do that this is not right if you're not sick and would appreciate all you can do to get this passage.I'm due to retire in December 2010 and the sooner the better.

    The government is losing money on this...it would be cheaper for them to either convert unused leave into retirement or towards retirement otherwise continue to have people LIE about being sick. Another solution would be to just give the number of days as Any Purpose Leave so that people could take them for any purpose, sick or otherwise. The latter would be the CHEAPEST option for the government...Stop WASTING the people's money!!
