         THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
         * OF THE UNITED STATES

rving A. Taylor - Recredit of Sick Leave


Employee who had a break in Federal
service of over 3 years seeks recredit
of sick leave on basis that he was em-
ployed by various organizations and
instrumentalities that receive Federal
funding. Employee contends that such
employment avoids a break in service
in excess of 3 years. Under 5 C.F.R.
§ 630.502(b)(1), a recredit of sick
leave is permitted when an employee's
break in service does not exceed 3 years.
Since service with private organizations
or state instrumentalities that receive
Federal funding does not constitute
Federal service, employee may not have
sick leave recredited.


     Mr. Irving A. Taylor appeals the settlement of our
Claims Group which denied his request for recredit of sick
leave because he had had a break in Federal service in ex-
cess of 3 years. Since the applicable regulations do not
permit the recredit of sick leave where an employee has a
break in service in excess of 3 years, Mr. Taylor's appeal
is denied.

     Mr. Taylor has been employed as a Public Health Advisor
by the Public Health Service (PHS) sinci February 1979 fol-
lowing a break in Federal service of over 11 years. In.
July 1980, he was advanced 240 hours of sick leave to
help him cover a period of incapacitation from July 23 to
October 4, 1.980. The agency states that as of June 13,
1981, Mr. Taylor had reduced the balance of the advance of
sick leave to 178 hours. Apparently, faced with the uncer-
tain condition of his health, Mr. Taylor is interested in
eliminating this negative sick leave balance. Therefore,
he asked the PHS personnel office whether he could be re-
credited with a portion of the 840 hours of sick leave he
had to hi. credit when he was separated from the Agency for
International Development in 1967. The personnel office ad-
vised him that the sick leave could not be recredited since
