| Under five years.. | 1 | 6 | 8 | In exceptional cases special circumstances may be taken into consideration—e.g., where an officer in discharge of his duty sustains injuries of such a nature as to incapacitate him for all duty, this scale may be varied. |

If any officer is absent from duty on account of illness, and such absence has extended beyond three months, he shall not be permitted to return to duty until some medical practitioner approved by the Commissioner has certified that he is fit to resume work.
When extended leave is granted other than on full pay the rate paid for Sundays and holidays shall be the same as that allowed for the period of leave.
Sick-leave allowed under this regulation may be granted in one or more periods, but the aggregate amount of leave provided for in the schedules is intended to cover a period of three years, dating from the first absence on sick-leave.
The second or any subsequent triennial period will commence on the date of the first absence on sick-leave following the date upon which the previous triennial period expired; and for the three years thus commencing the full amount of leave provided in the schedules according to length of service may again be allowed.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR MILITARY PURPOSES.
- Subject to departmental convenience, the Permanent Head may grant to officers who are members of the Defence Force leave of absence for the purpose of attending camps and courses of military instruction. Leave of absence granted in pursuance of this regulation shall not be deducted from the officer's annual leave.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE TO TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES.
- Temporary employees shall be treated in the same manner as permanent officers as regards public holidays and leave of absence for the purpose of attending camps and courses of military instruction.
LEAVE FOR OFFICERS ATTENDING UNIVERSITY LECTURES.
-
Officers who are students at any college of the New Zealand University may be granted leave, not exceeding five hours weekly during the session of the college, for the purpose of attending lectures which are given in official working-hours. Such leave may be granted by the Permanent Head of the Department in which the officer is employed, and shall not be granted if doing so will materially interfere with the working of the office. Any leave so granted must be made up by the officer at such hours as the Permanent Head shall direct.
-
The Commissioner may allow special leave in addition to the above where the circumstances appear to him to warrant it. In every case where leave is granted for the above purpose, the Permanent Head shall satisfy himself that the officer duly attended the said lectures.
LEAVE TO ATTEND EXAMINATIONS.
- No deduction shall be made from annual leave in respect of leave granted for the purpose of attending examinations referred to in these regulations.
SICK-LEAVE FOR TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES.
- The Permanent Head may, on satisfactory evidence that the leave is necessary on account of sickness or ill health, grant to any person temporarily employed leave of absence on full pay for a period not exceeding one week.
PENALTY FOR IMPOSITION.
- Any person practising imposition under the plea of sickness shall be subject to instant dismissal, disrate ment in rank, or reduction in salary, as the Commissioner may determine.
