Let's blog about this sick leave fiasco proffered by Cong. Jim Moran (D- Va.) in the heart of federaldom.

I like simple math, so let me get this straight.

If I use the sick leave I have, it pays out at 100% of current salary. True? I don't know; I'm asking. Some of the personnel and pay types out there know better than I do.

If the government goes with Congressman Moran's plan, it pays out at 15% of final salary, not to exceed $10,000. True? and even under CSRS, it adds to your retirement and is paid out at a percentage of the average of your high three salary years.

Hmmmmm... let's see, 15% then vs. 100% now.

What incentive do I have to save sick leave under FERS except my generosity in relinquishing it back to the government?

I might be brain-depleted from the bureaucracy, but no brain could be so impacted as to accept such a bad deal.

Anyone can use another name! if something is wrong and it is not in line with the current administration then speak up or quit complaining.

You are the one that has to sleep with the decisions that you made that day or NOT?

The State Department blog has no comment policy, just what she feels is good for her that day. Same with PC and NPCA. The USG blogs have got them into trouble and the authors new that would happen and, as usual, exploited the trouble.
