Amendment of Naval Establishments Regulations. 

Regulation 59 of the Naval Establishments Regulations is repealed and the following regulation is inserted in its stead:—

Leave for defence purposes.

“59.—(1) An officer or employee who is a member of the Defence Force shall be granted by the Officer-in-Charge leave of absence with full pay for the purpose of attending training camps, drills, parades, schools, classes or courses of instruction in which his unit is participating:

Provided that evidence of the necessity for such attendance shall be submitted with an officer’s or employee’s application, and, at the conclusion of the training camp, drill, parade, school, class or course of instruction, the officer or employee shall produce to the Officer-in-Charge 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 or employee for the purpose of attending a training camp, drill, parade, school, class or course of instruction of his own unit, the Officer-in-Charge may grant in lieu leave of absence as prescribed in this regulation for the purpose of attending an equivalent training camp, drill, parade, school, class or course of instruction of another unit.

(2) Leave of absence granted under this regulation shall not be deducted from recreation leave.

(3) An officer or employee who, while undergoing the training referred to in this regulation, sustains injury or contracts illness necessitating his absence from duty beyond the period of leave with full pay granted under this regulation may be granted leave on the following terms:—

(a) If compensation is not paid to the officer or employee by the Defence Force 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 or employee 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 or employee 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.

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