29.105—Computation of time.
(a) For filing documents.
In
computing the number of days allowed for filing a
document, the first day counted is the day after
the action or event from which the period begins
to run. If the date that ordinarily would be the
last day for filing falls on a Saturday, a Sunday,
a Federal holiday, or a District holiday, the
period runs until the end of the next day that is
not a Saturday, a Sunday, or a Federal or a
District holiday.
(b) For benefit accrual.
(1)
Annuity accrues on a daily basis; one-thirtieth of
the monthly rate constitutes the daily rate.
(2)
Annuity does not accrue on the 31st day of
any month except that annuity accrues on the 31st
day of the initial month if the employee's annuity
commences on the 31st day of a 31-day month.
(3)
For accrual purposes the last day of a
28-day month counts as 3 days and the last day of
a 29-day month counts as 2 days.
(i)
The service of a participant under the
Police and Firefighters Plan who retires on an
immediate annuity is increased by the number of
days of unused sick leave to the participant's
credit under a formal leave system; and
(ii)
The service of a participant under the
Teachers Plan who retires on an immediate annuity
or dies leaving a survivor entitled to an annuity
is increased by the number of days of unused sick
leave to the participant's credit under a formal
leave system.
(2)
In general, 8 hours of unused sick leave
increases total service by 1 day. In cases where
more or less than 8 hours of sick leave would be
charged for a day's absence, total service is
increased by the number of days in the period
between the date of separation and the date that
the unused sick leave would have expired had the
employee used it (except that holidays falling
within the period are treated as
work days, and no additional leave credit is
earned for that period).
(3)
If an employee's tour of duty changes from
part time to full time or full time to part time
within 180 days before retirement, the credit for
unused sick leave is computed as though no change
had occurred.
(d)
(LWOP)
counting leave without pay
(LWOP) that is creditable service. (1) Under
the Police and Firefighters Plan, credit is
allowed for no more than 6 months of LWOP in each
calendar year.
(2)
(i)
Under the Teachers Plan, credit is
allowed for no more than 6 months of LWOP in each
fiscal year.
(ii)
(A)
For years prior to fiscal year 1976,
each fiscal year started on July 1 and ended on
the following June 30.
(C)
For years starting in fiscal year 1977,
each fiscal year starts on October 1 and ends on
the following September 30.
