Recommendation:
OPM converts sick leave at 174 hours per month (2,087 hours = 1 year of creditable service). Accrual rate assumes 4 hours per biweekly pay period (standard for most full-time FERS employees). Partial months beyond full months are forfeited at retirement — they do not carry over. Pension increase estimated using the standard FERS 1% multiplier applied to base pay.
