How can I convert unused and unpaid leave to additional retirement credit?
Unused and unpaid leave can be converted to additional retirement credit at the time a member applies for normal retirement benefits or DROP. The employer will report the number of days to be converted on the employer request form. The days reported will be divided by 260 working days to determine the portion of a year that a member will receive as additional credit. A member cannot use leave to achieve the years required for eligibility. The member must first attain the years required and then the leave is added.
