(a) sick leave and recreation leave entitlements continue to accrue in relation to the employee during each of the first 45 weeks during which he or she is on post‑determination compensation leave; and
(b) long service leave entitlements continue to accrue in relation to the employee during the whole of the period of the post‑determination compensation leave;
as if the employee were not absent from work.
