21 Absence from duty

(cf cl 13 GSE Reg 2014)

(1) A Health executive must not be absent from duty unless reasonable cause is shown.

(2) If a Health executive is absent from duty because of illness or other emergency, the executive must, as soon as practicable, provide an explanation for the absence.

(3) If the Health executive fails to provide that explanation to the satisfaction of the executive’s employer, the employer is to cause to be deducted from the pay of the executive the amount paid to the executive for the period of absence.

(4) This rule does not prevent the employer or the Health Secretary from taking any other action that the employer or Health Secretary is authorised to take in relation to a Health executive who is absent from duty without authorised leave.
