16 Election by certain Judges of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 2) to be covered by general recreation leave arrangements

Changing to general recreation leave arrangements (1) This section applies to a Judge of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 2) if the Judge was appointed before 1 January 2018. (2) At any time, the Judge may elect to be covered by the general recreation leave arrangements instead of the transitional recreation leave arrangements. The election takes effect on 1 January following the election.

Note: For the general recreation leave arrangements, see section 14. For the transitional recreation leave arrangements, see section 15.

(3) The Judge may make only one election to be covered by the general recreation leave arrangements. (4) The Judge retains the balance of the Judge’s recreation leave that had accrued immediately before the election took effect but, subject to subsection (6), is entitled to this balance only in accordance with subsection 14(5). Revoking election (5) At any time, the Judge may revoke the election to be covered by the general recreation leave arrangements. The election takes effect on 1 January following the revocation. (6) The Judge retains the balance of the Judge’s recreation leave mentioned in subsection (4) and is entitled to this balance in accordance with section 15. Election made under superseded determination (7) To avoid doubt, an election to be covered by the general recreation leave arrangements instead of the transitional recreation leave arrangements, or a revocation of such an election, that was made under a superseded determination is to be treated as an election or revocation made under this section.
