Provided that evidence of the necessity for such attendance shall be submitted with an officer’s application, and, at the conclusion of the camp, school, class, or course of instruction, the officer shall produce to the Chief Officer a certificate of attendance thereat:

Provided also that if it would not be in the public interest to grant leave of absence under this Regulation to an officer for the purpose of attending a camp, school, class, or course of instruction of his own unit or corps, the Chief Officer may grant in lieu leave of absence as prescribed in this Regulation for the purpose of attending an equivalent camp, school, class or course of instruction of another unit or corps.

(a) If compensation is not paid to the officer by the Department of Defence in respect to such absence, the leave may be granted as sick leave.

(b) If compensation is paid, and is equal to or exceeds the amount of remuneration which the officer would have received had he been granted sick leave, the leave shall be granted without pay.

(c) If compensation is paid, and is less than the amount of remuneration which the officer would have received had he been granted sick leave he shall be paid the difference, and his sick leave credit shall be reduced as if he had been granted sick leave with pay corresponding to the amount of the difference.

(4.) This Regulation shall apply to temporary employees:

Provided that where the employee’s services are not further required, leave shall only be granted to the date on which he would have ordinarily ceased duty.”.
