D.C. 2r)5413 B-199477 DATEi ?!:, 3, 1W32 MATTER OF; Corne Sue Freeman - Payment for unused sick leave DIGEST: Former employee of Government of Di3trict of Columbia sought lutip-sum payment for 5 and one-half days accumulated sick leave at time of her resignation, which was more than 18 months after beginning maternity leave. We find no basis which would allow for a lump-sum payment for unused sick leave upon her reignation. Further, grievance hearing officer's decision, rendered under collective bargaining agreement, not to allow maternity leave date to be amended 18 months later for the purpose of grant- ing sick leave is not arbitrary or capricious and, therefore, will not be overturned by GAO. The Washington Teachers' Union (Union) and the Public Schools of the District of Columbia (Public Schools) have jointly submitted to the Comptroller General for decision the claim of Mrs. Corne Sue Freeman, a former teacher in the Public Schools. The Union conteads Mrs. Freeman is entitled to be compensated for the sick leave she had to her credit at the time of her resiqnation from the Public Schools. For the reasons explained below, the claim is denind. Since the District of Columbia government is a legal entity separate and distinct from the United States Gov- ernment, this Office has no jurisdiction to settle claims by or against the District of Columbia. 36 Comp. Gen. 457 (1956); 1 id. 451 (1922). Upon request by appropriate officials of the District of Columbia government, the Comptroller General will, however, issue decisions to the District of Columbia government. 47 D.C. Code § 121 (1981). Since this request for a decision is stubmitted by an appropriate official of the Government of the District of Columbia, we will rendar a decision. FILE;
