(b) by adding at the end thereof the following sub-regulation:—

“(4) For the purpose of determining eligibility for leave under sub-regulation (1) of this regulation, any discontinuance of employment for any period not exceeding six working days shall not be regarded as a break in the continuity of employment if such discontinuance was entirely due to the requirements of the Service. Additional time equal to the total period of such discontinuance shall, however, be worked before the temporary employee may be regarded as having completed twelve months’ continuous service.”.
