9. (1) For the purposes of these Regulations the furlough credit applicable to
a member on a particular day shall be the number of months calculated in
accordance with the formula-
                    3A      (   3B        C<     )                     --  + (

--   x    -----  )  --  D

                    10      (   10        36.75< ) where-

A is equal to the number of years of relevant service of the member before the
prescribed day, excluding periods of employment described in paragraph 8 (1)
(c) that were periods of employment in a part-time capacity;
B is equal to the number of years of relevant service of the member comprised
in the periods of employment described in paragraph 8 (1) (c) that were
periods of employment in a part-time capacity;
C is equal to the average number of hours of service a member was required to
render each week, during the number of years to which B is equal; and
D is equal to the number of months in a period, or in the aggregate of any
periods, of furlough granted to and taken by the member, under these
Regulations or otherwise, in respect of relevant service before that day.
(2) In sub-regulation (1), " prescribed day " means-

   (a)  in relation to the furlough credit of a member on the day on which he
        ceases to be a member-the day immediately following the last day of
        the last completed month of the member's relevant service; or

   (b)  in relation to the furlough credit of a member on any other day-the
        day immediately following the last day of the last completed year of
        the member's relevant service.

(3) Where a member is-

   (a)  unfit for duty on account of illness; or

   (b)  recalled for duty, for a period of not less than one day during a
        period of furlough granted to the member, the member shall be deemed,
        for the purpose of determining his furlough credit, not to have been
        granted furlough in respect of that first mentioned period.

(4) Where, in respect of a period of relevant service, a member has been
granted a period of furlough on half pay or half salary, as the case may be,
either before or after the coming into effect of these Regulations, the period
of that furlough shall, for the purpose of this regulation, be deemed to have
been a period equal to half that period.

(5) Where, in respect of a period of relevant service, a member has been paid
an amount, either before or after the coming into effect of these Regulations,
the member shall, for the purpose of this regulation, be deemed to have been
granted, on the day on which that payment was made to him, a period of
furlough in respect of that period of relevant service equal to the period of
furlough on full salary in lieu of which that payment was made to him.
