TAX ALERT: PACMATE Annex 3.A, item 75. |
|
|
Additional recreation leave for training is for a member who must take a break from a course and who does not have enough recreation leave credit to cover the absence. The leave is sometimes called trainee leave. |
|
1. |
This clause applies to a member who meets all of these conditions. |
|
|
|
a. |
They are required by their Service to attend a training course, or a series of courses. |
|
|
b. |
They are not required to attend the course during a course break. |
|
|
c. |
They do not have enough recreation leave to cover the period of the course break. |
|
2. |
The member is entitled to take trainee leave for the period of the course break not covered by recreation leave. Example: A member has two days of recreation leave credit. They do a course of training that involves a five-day course break. They can take two days of recreation leave and three days of trainee leave to cover the absence. |
|
|
Recreation leave credits must be used before trainee leave may be granted. Example: A member begins a course of training with a recreation leave credit of 10 days. They must use that credit before they can get trainee leave for a course break. |
