LEAVE OF ABSENCE.
- Every officer in the Clerical Division of the Department may be granted leave of absence for recreation on the following scale:—
(1.) Where an officer has served for fifteen years or upwards, not exceeding four weeks in each year:
(2.) Where he has served less than fifteen years, and ten years or more, not exceeding three weeks in each year:
(3.) Where he has served one year and less than ten years, not exceeding two weeks in each year.

Officers in the Non-clerical Division may, after completion of twelve months' service, receive two weeks' leave in each year. Night-watchmen may also receive two weeks' leave. (See Rule 156.) Telegraph messengers may be given a week's leave in each year after one year's continuous service.
