As he neared the end of his legal career at the Connecticut AG's office, Donald Longley took a hard look at statutes governing state pensions. As he saw it, his 120 days of unused vacation should not only be repaid in his last work year, it should also increase his annual state pension for the rest of his life. An appeals court agreed. Now, the State Employees' Retirement Commission is seeking a state Supreme Court reversal, arguing the new interpretation could have an "enormous" impact on pension funds.

As he was nearing the end of his 36-year legal career with the attorney general’s office, Donald M. Longley took a hard look at the statutes governing state employees’ pensions.
As he saw it, the 120 days of vacation time that he didn’t take should not only be repaid in a cash bump in his final year of work, it should also substantially increase his annual state pension, from $90,600 to $99,700, for the rest of his life.
