For retiring officers, upon receipt of a notice of retirement and the completed exit forms, the officers annual leave entitlement is calculated and verified with their line manager and the Department's HR Unit.
In cases where retired officers have taken leave in excess of their entitlement, in line with the Civil Service Annual Leave Circular 27/03 and the Overpayments Circular 07/18, the equivalent monetary amount is recouped from the individual.
In relation to cases who have already retired from service, the National Shared Services Office, the civil service office with responsibility for processing pay and pensions to civil servants, in accordance with the above circulars, will write to the individual to notify the amount of the overpayment and arrange for recoupment by direct payment or deduction from pension payments.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
