The Board Finds:
1. Donald W. Smith of Madison, Wisconsin claims $31,214.08 for the value of sick leave credits for which he was not eligible due to his retirement date. The claimant served as an assistant attorney general for 26 years. He retired in August 1996 because of health problems. He states that he tried to put off his retirement as long as possible because he knew that the legislature was considering an increase in the amount of sick leave credits that could be converted to pay health insurance premiums after retirement. However, negotiations for the new contract, which would include the increased sick leave credit provision, went far beyond the contract expiration date of June 1995. The claimant states that he was an active member of the Wisconsin State Attorneys Association (WSAA) when the contract expired. In light of his many years of service to the state, the claimant asks that he be awarded the value of the extra sick leave credits.
