MATTER  OF: Jon P. Kindice -Recredit  of sick leave
            after break in servie&


DIGEST:


Although Foreign Service officer of
Agency for International Development
suffered involuntary reduction in force
in 1974 and sought Federal employment
unsuccessfully until 1979, resulting
break in service in excess of 3 years
precludes recrediting of previously
earned sick leave.  Office of Person-
nel Management regulation at 5 C.F.R.
630.502(b)(1) as further implemented by
3 FAM 493.3 has force and effect of law
and neither this Office nor agency con-
cerned may waive or grant exceptions to
that regulation.  See cases cited.


     Mr. Arthur D. Schantz, Chief of the Employee
Services Division, Office of Financial Management,
Agency for International Development, requests a
decision on the claim of Mr. Jon P. Kindice for
reinstatement of 816 hours of sick leave. In
accordance with the following analysis Mr. Kindice's
claim may not be allowed.


     Mr. Kindice, a Foreign Service officer with the
Agency for International Development, was reemployed
on May 27, 1979, after a break in service of 4 years,
5 months, and 3 days, which followed his separation
from the agency on August 24, 1974, due to a reduction
in force.  Mr. Kindice's claim involves the recredit
of 816 hours of sick leave which were carried to his
credit at the time of the August 1974 separation. In
essence Mr. Kindice contends that since his sepaiFation
was involuntary and since he actively sought Government
employment during the interim period from August 1974
to May 1979 when he was reemployed, he should be
allowed to have the sick leave hours to his credit
at the date of his separation recredited to his
presently existing sick leave balance._
