14 Concurrent employment

(1) Where the period of service of an employee includes a period of employment in a qualifying service that is wholly or partly concurrent with a period of employment in another qualifying service, subsections (3), (4) and (5) apply for the purpose of determining the extent (if any) to which each of those periods is to count in ascertaining the period of leave that may at any time be granted to the employee under this Act or the payment that may at any time be made under this Act to or in respect of the employee. (2) In applying subsections (3), (4) and (5) to and in relation to an employee: (a) subsection (3) shall, if applicable, be applied before subsection (4) or (5); and (b) subsection (4) shall, if applicable, be applied before subsection (5). (3) Where, on the day on which leave is granted to an employee under this Act or an employee ceases to be an employee, the employee is also employed in a qualifying service other than Government Service, so much of his or her current period of employment in that first‑mentioned service as is or was concurrent with any of his or her employment in Government Service does not count as employment in that first‑mentioned service. (4) Where a person is or was employed in a qualifying service in a full‑time capacity, any employment in a qualifying service in a part‑time capacity that is or was concurrent with that first‑mentioned employment does not count as employment in such a service. (5) Where a person who is or was employed in a qualifying service in a part‑time capacity renders or rendered on a day service for a period in accordance with the terms of his or her employment and the person also renders or rendered service for a further period on that day in accordance with the terms of other employment in a part‑time capacity in a qualifying service, his or her period of employment on that day shall be taken to be a period equal to the sum of those periods. (6) This section applies in relation to the employment of an employee to whom section 13 applies during the period referred to in that section as the period of his or her relevant employment as if: (a) in a case where he or she was employed in one service only during that period—his or her employment in that service was employment in a qualifying service; or (b) in a case where he or she was employed in 2 or more services during that period—his or her employment in each such service was employment in a qualifying service.
