35 Absence from duty

(cf cl 13 GSE Reg 2014)

(1) An administrative employee must not be absent from duty unless reasonable cause is shown.

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

(3) If the administrative employee fails to provide that explanation to the satisfaction of the Commissioner, the Commissioner is to cause to be deducted from the pay of the employee the amount paid to the employee for the period of absence.

(4) This rule does not prevent the Commissioner from taking any other action that the Commissioner is authorised to take in relation to an administrative employee who is absent from duty without authorised leave.

(5) In the case of an administrative employee who is a NSW Police Force senior executive, this rule is subject to the executive’s contract of employment under section 38 of the Police Act 1990.
