Amendment of the Public Service Regulations 

Accrual of special recreation leave credits—December 1972.

After regulation 49a of the Public Service Regulations the following regulation is inserted:—

“49b. Where, by reason of the exigencies of the Public Service in the month of December, 1972, it was found to be impracticable to grant to an officer leave of absence for recreation for such a period as would prevent the lapsing of that part of the recreation leave credit of the officer that lapsed on the thirty-first of December, 1972, the service of that officer during that month is, for the purposes of paragraph (b) of sub-section (4) of section 68 of the Act, service in special circumstances, and the longer period of recreation leave that accrued under that sub-section to the officer on the first day of January, 1973, shall be deemed to have been a period equal to the total of—

(a) the period of the recreation leave credit that would, but for this regulation, have accrued to the officer on that date; and

(b) a period equal to the part of the recreation leave credit of the officer that lapsed on the thirty-first day of December, 1972.”.
