    (2) Where sick-leave for more than one month is applied for, the application shall be referred by the Government Printer to the Commissioner.

Commissioner may grant further Leave.

  1. Where in case of illness any employee who has received leave of absence for one month is not so far recovered as to be able to resume his duties, further extensions of leave may be granted by the Commissioner: Provided that on each extension of leave the employee may be subjected to an examination by a medical practitioner approved by the Commissioner.

Pay during Period of Sick-leave.

Over thirty years 6 months 12 months.

(2) No exception will be made in the foregoing schedule, except in the case of illness resulting from causes that can be directly traced to the conditions under which an employee is working, or where an employee in the discharge of his duties and through no fault of his own sustains injuries of such a nature as to incapacitate him from duty.
(3) Pay during sick-leave shall not be granted where an employee receives compensation under the Workers’ Compensation Act.

Medical Examination before Resumption of Work.

  1. If any employee 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.

Payment for Sundays and Holidays during Leave on Reduced Pay.

  1. 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.

Calculation of Sick-leave.

  1. Sick-leave allowed, whether by the Government Printer or by the Commissioner, under these regulations may be granted in one or more periods, but the aggregate amount of leave provided for in Regulation 61 is intended to cover the whole of the period of an employee’s service.

Medical Certificate to be furnished.

  1. Whenever an employee is absent from duty on account of illness or accident for any period extending beyond three days, a medical certificate stating the nature of the illness or accident and the probable period of absence shall be furnished to the Government Printer. The Government Printer may, however, in his discretion require that the medical certificate shall be furnished forthwith.
