OF:  Mr. Edwin W.  Guilford - Forfeited
    annual leave

 Where  employee seeks and obtains an unoffircial
 estimate of projected retirement annuity,
 wherein an error in division was made causing
 an overstatement of such annuity, but by time
 discovered and employee decided to postpone
 rtirement,  he was unable to schedule and ue
 aia exeas annual leave, since calculation error
 did not involve con3ideration of leave matters,
 such error-as was made does not qualify under
 5 U. S. C. 6304 as a basis for restoration of
 forfeited annual leave.


  *  'Tis'action Is in response to a request dated December 30. 1977
(ret'rehce 94031 RJG), with enclosures, from Mr. Pobert J. Griffin,
Civilian Personnel Division, Naval Air Systems Cor. unaid, request-
ing .a deciilon concerning the right of Mr. Edwin W. Guildford, a
civilian employee of that activity, to have 120 bourn of annual leave
which was forfeited at the close of the 1976 year restored to his
leave account.
   The file Iuidicates that in Nove ber 1978, the.eziw Lride, who had
been coibtempliting retirement, requested an inofficial computation
of his estimated annuity from his servicing personnel office. At
that time, the epiployee `apparently had 184 hours of annual leave to
use without loiiing it and it is indicated that he was in a position to
use it should comiputatioiof his annuity prove to be unsatisfactory.
Upon being given that annuity estlinate, apparently there were some
doubts in his mlhd as to its correctness, for on November 17, 1976,
he had the computation again checked for accuracy. On recheck,
he was assured of the minimum accuracy of his projected annuity.

   On  Deicember 17, 1978, the'Temployee, after makbitg aiiuilty com-
parisois With a stinflarily isituated co-worker, again had d6ubt as
to the 'ictcuracy of his annuity estimate. On recomputation that date
by a different employee of the same persorurel office he was advised
that his projected arLiuty as originally computed was erroneously
overstated by approximately $84 a zivonth, The file indicates that the
error was the result of incorrect division.

   At this point, the employee decided to postpone retirement and
Immediately went on annual leave for the remaindnr of the year
