A bill to amend title 5, United States Code, to provide that any Federal employee retiring with accrued sick leave shall be entitled to elect to receive payment for such leave (in lieu of having such leave used in determining his retirement annuity).

Permits employees of either the Federal or District of Columbia government to elect to receive a lump-sum payment for accumulated and current sick leave upon separation from service. Prohibits employees electing to receive such payment from taking accumulated and current sick leave into account in determining eligibility for or the amount of any retirement annuity.
