Rep. James Moran D VA, is introducing the sick leave reimbursement bill on Monday, March 10th, reported in today's Federal Times.
Terms are 10% of high three hourly wage for all but first 500 hours unused sick leave.
Frankly, I do not know how to figure my hourly wage since I have overtime built into it. It appears the higher your salary, the more you will get back. Even though I will have 1500 hours unused sick leave, I will not receive the maximum $10,000.
Quoting from the article:
Moran’s bill would provide employees retiring under the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) up to $10,000 in compensation. Employees would be paid 10 percent of the hourly average of their three highest salaries for all but the first 500 hours of their unused sick leave.

As an air traffic controller, I just laugh at this proposal. Ten percent? AFTER the first 500 hours? My time is worth a lot more than that... we're better off taking the sick days when we don't feel well. And with our really messed up schedules, stress and severe limits on what prescriptions and OTC meds we can take -- no anti-histimines, for example -- we suffer through a lot more of the treatable symptoms most other employees don't. Seems like a pretty crappy proposal to me and won't discourage any ATC'ers from taking SL.
