Extraordinary leave: may be granted when no other leave remains; unpaid and generally not counted for increments.

Extraordinary leave may be authorised when no other leave is due and sick or special leave is not considered justified by the competent authority. The competent authority may grant extraordinary leave in combination with or in continuation of other leave and may commute retrospectively periods of absence without leave into extraordinary leave. No pay or allowances are admissible during extraordinary leave and the period normally does not count for increments, although the sanctioning authority may direct that it count for increments where the absence was due to illness or causes beyond the employee's control.
