(a) under Schedule 1 (in the case of a Public Service employee), or
(b) under some other Act or law, such as an award or industrial agreement (in any other case).
(1) For the purpose of calculating a government sector employee's extended leave entitlement, the government sector employee's service with his or her current employer is taken to include his or her recognised service.
(2) The person's employment in a government sector agency or a Commonwealth or interstate agency or in a related government service (the
"former agency" ) is
"recognised service" in relation to the person's subsequent employment in a government sector agency (the
"current agency" ) if--(a) the period of employment in the former agency has been continuous, and(b) either--(i) the person's employment in the current agency has immediately followed the person's employment in the former agency, or(ii) the person is entitled, by law or administrative practice, to have the service in the former agency form part of the service in the current agency for the purpose of calculating the person's extended leave entitlement.
(3) A period of recognised service may not be counted more than once for the purpose of calculating the person's extended leave entitlement.
(1) The following amounts of leave are to be deducted from a government sector employee's extended leave entitlement--(a) the amount of any extended leave taken by the government sector employee in relation to recognised service,(b) the amount of any extended leave in respect of which the government sector employee has elected to be paid the money value under clause 8 in respect of recognised service,(c) the amount of any extended leave that the government sector employee is deemed to have taken under clause 9 in respect of recognised service.
(2) For the purposes of subclause (1) (a), the government sector employee is deemed to have taken extended leave if he or she has been paid the money value of that leave.
(3) A period of extended leave is not to be deducted more than once under this clause.
(1) A government sector employee who ceases to be employed in a government sector agency and immediately commences employment in another government sector agency or in a related government agency may elect--(a) to be paid the whole or part of the money value of the government sector employee's accrued extended leave, or(b) to retain the entitlement to that accrued extended leave.
(2) This clause does not apply to a Public Service employee who has been paid the money value of his or her accrued extended leave under clause 4 of Schedule 1.
Note : Whichever election the government sector employee makes, his or her service with the current employer will, pursuant to clause 6 of this Schedule, be deemed to include service with the former employer.
(1) For the purposes of clause 7 (1) (c), a government sector employee--(a) whose employment in a government sector agency (the
"current agency" ) immediately follows employment in a Commonwealth or interstate agency (the
"former agency" ), or(b) who is entitled, by law or administrative practice, to have the service in the former agency form part of the service in the current agency,and who, at any time during his or her employment in the former agency, has been entitled under the relevant Commonwealth or interstate law to take extended leave or be paid the money value of extended leave is deemed to have taken the leave.
(2) The amount of extended leave that the government sector employee is deemed to have taken is calculated as if--(a) leave had accrued in relation to his or her service in the former agency at the same rate as leave accrues in relation to his or her service in the current agency, and(b) the service in the former agency in respect of which leave accrued was the whole of the service recognised by the former agency for the purpose of calculating his or her extended leave entitlement, and(c) the amount of leave taken before the calculation of the entitlement was nil, and(d) the money value of leave paid before the calculation of the entitlement was nil.
