Sick Leave Credit At Retirement

AWARDING OF CREDIT

Unused sick leave credit is awarded on the basis of one month of service for every twenty days of sick leave. Nine months of sick leave credit are equal to one year of service irrespective of the number of months worked per year.

TRS will calculate sick leave credit after receiving all Sick Leave Certification forms from your employers. Your last employer will submit its form after your last day of work.

You may receive a monthly benefit prior to the application of sick leave credit to your account. In this instance, your benefit will be adjusted retroactively to your retirement date after all sick leave forms have been received by TRS and the appropriate calculations have been completed.
