24—War service sick leave

War service sick leave may be granted by the Director-General to officers who submit evidence that they are absent because of a disability accepted by the Commonwealth Repatriation Commission as due to war service in accordance with the following provisions:

        (1)         A non-accumulative credit of nine weeks—

As from 1 July 1955 or the date of joining the teaching service, whichever is the later, each ex-serviceman is granted a special non-accumulative war service sick leave credit of nine weeks, ie, forty-five working days.

        (2)         An accumulative credit of three weeks annually—

            (a)         On and from 1 July 1964 or the date of joining the teaching service, whichever is the later, each ex-serviceman may be granted an additional three weeks war service sick leave credit annually, ie, fifteen working days.

            (b)         This entitlement will accumulate for three years, ie, forty-five working days, and re-accumulate if any portion thereof is used, so that the maximum credit which may be accumulated is forty-five working days inclusive of existing accumulated credit.

            (c)         This accumulative credit can be utilised only when the non-accumulative credit in subregulation (1) has been exhausted.
