Crediting Sf! sick leave i'' primarily ar administrative matter. Also, in tihe abience of leave rzords, the agency may consder aV.d determine the acceptability of such secondry evidence as the employee may supply and rether such evidence may be used as a basi for creditis the teave claimed. This action is in response to a request for an advance decision from J.C. Lawlor, Jr., Commanding Officer, Naval Communication Unit, Key West, Florida, concerning the Laim of Mrs. Ruth L. Jones, a formei civilian employee 'of the Naval Communication Unit, for recredit of sick leave accrued during prior Federal service. The record indicate':, that Mrs. Jones was employed y the Navzl Communication Unit from Mar'ch 2, :967, until her disability Q'etire- ment on April 15, 1977. On the latter date Mrs. Jones submitted s cliim for 276 hours of stak leave whith she states were acclued durins prior Federal.,service from May 21, 1962, to May 28, 1966. The only evidence su'pplied by Mrs. Jones of this accrual of sick leavs is an affidavit which states that to the beat of her knowledge she earned 396 hours of sick leave during this period and used an estimated 120 hours. The administrative report states that upon Mrs. Jones' reinstatement in 1967 her leave record was requested from the Civilian Personnel Office at Fort Sheridan, Illinois, but that the record was not received. A recent inquiry directed to Fort Sheridan revealed tat such records are routinely destroyed after 4 years. The administrative report states that Mrs. Jones made no effort while employed with the Naval Communication Unit to bring this discrepancy to the attention of Fort Sheridan or the Naval Communication Unit. However, Mrs. Jones states that she contacted Fort Sheridan several times from 1967 to 1977. In addition. there.is evidence that the Naval Communication Unit was aware of t::1.5 matter since it made an additional request for the records from Fort Sheridan in 1970. L I* i-i
