20—Taking of long service leave

        (1)         Subject to this section, an officer who has completed at least 10 years' effective service is entitled to take long service leave.

        (2)         The Chief Executive Officer may permit an officer who has completed at least seven years' effective service to take long service leave.

        (3)         Long service leave may only be taken in respect of completed years of effective service.

        (4)         Long service leave may only be taken at times and for periods that are, in the opinion of the Chief Executive Officer, convenient to the Department.

        (5)         Subject to this section, the salary to which an officer is entitled during long service leave is—

            (a)         where the effective service of an officer consists of full-time service—the salary applicable to the officer's substantive classification level during that leave (excluding any additional salary attributable to a higher classification level temporarily assigned to the officer);

            (b)         where the effective service of an officer consists in whole or in part of part-time service—a salary determined by the Chief Executive Officer.

        (6)         An officer may elect to take long service leave on half salary and, in that event, may take two days' leave for each whole day of the officer's entitlement.

        (7)         Where the effective service of an officer consists in whole or in part of part-time service, the officer may elect to take long service leave on the salary applicable to full-time service and, in that event, the period of the long service leave will be reduced accordingly.

        (8)         The Chief Executive Officer may authorise payment to an officer on long service leave of such additional salary or allowances as the Chief Executive Officer considers appropriate.
