13 Absence from duty

(cf cl 13 GSE Reg 2014)

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

(2) If a Transport 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 Transport executive fails to provide that explanation to the satisfaction of the Transport Secretary, the Transport Secretary 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 Transport Secretary from taking any other action that the Transport Secretary is authorised to take in relation to a Transport executive who is absent from duty without authorised leave.
