Dunno. Seems like if someone sells back $30K worth of leave x 90% (public safety pension), thats an additional $27K per year of pension for life. That increment is larger than the entire annual pension many private sector works end up getting.

Normally what happens with sick leave and vacation payouts is one can take the cash up front when retiring or add it to the pension annuity. In the case of your $30K example, it would increase their pension a couple hundred dollars a month.

Even the military has a use or lose rule, and under those rules you’re charged for Saturdays & Sundays.
