Part 4—Recreation leave 5—Recreation leave (1) Subject to this Schedule, the regulations and any determinations of the Commissioner, an employee of a public sector agency is entitled to 1⅔ days recreation leave for each completed month of the employee's service. (2) A public sector agency may, subject to any determinations of the Commissioner, increase the entitlement to recreation leave of a particular employee or employees of a particular class. (3) Recreation leave must be granted by a public sector agency in accordance with the regulations and any determinations of the Commissioner. (4) Recreation leave may, subject to the regulations and any determinations of the Commissioner, be taken in anticipation of the leave accruing to the employee. (5) If an employee who is entitled to recreation leave dies or ceases for any reason to be an employee, the employee, or the employee's personal representative, as the case requires, must, unless the agency otherwise determines, be paid a sum calculated in accordance with the determinations of the Commissioner as being the monetary value of the leave. (6) If an employee of a public sector agency has taken recreation leave before the entitlement to the leave accrues to the employee and the employee ceases for any reason to be an employee then, unless the agency otherwise determines, a sum equal to the sum paid to the employee in respect of that leave is payable to the public sector agency as a debt by the employee. (7) If an employee of a public sector agency has been given a direction to take accrued recreation leave within a specified period but has not done so, the public sector agency may give the employee written notice cancelling the entitlement of the employee to specified accrued recreation leave. (8) This clause does not apply to a casual employee.
