Classification List. Distributors’ service since 13th September, 1890, is to be counted in full for leave purposes. The service of a promoted telegraph message-boy must be counted for leave purposes from the date of promotion. Twelve months are to elapse before leave in his new rank can be granted to such an officer.
157. Care must be taken to see that when more than the authorised leave is applied for in any case a special application is attached, and the matter referred to in the covering letter. Officers are not allowed to forestall their leave of absence for a subsequent year, and are not granted annual leave beyond the regulation limit, unless the circumstances are very exceptional.
158. Leave schedules, in duplicate, and unfolded, must reach the Secretary not later than the 10th December. In place of being forwarded loose or tied in one bundle only, the schedules must be separated into two sets, viz.: (1.) The set for the Head Office: the sheets to be kept together by means of a paper-fastener, and numbered in lead-pencil in the right-hand top corner. (2.) The set for return to the chief post-office or telegraph-office: a paper-fastener also to be used in this case, and each sheet marked in red ink “Duplicate” in the right-hand top corner and numbered. The outside cover should be labelled prominently “Leave schedules.”

Leave of absence will be granted only to such officers as merit it. The proposals for the employment of substitutes, where necessary, should also be dealt with in the covering letter.
160. The movements of Postmasters or their subordinates, in commencing or concluding leave, must be reported to their respective Chief Postmasters. This instruction applies to all absences exceeding one day, unless on business of the Department; and when an officer takes his annual leave as part of sick-leave, a separate advice should be forwarded for each description of leave. In every case, the leave-number allotted in the schedule of annual leave should be quoted opposite the name of the officer who may be absent.
