Casual leave entitlement capped annually, subject to prior sanction and pro rata accrual for part-year employment.

Regulation 27 provides that casual leave is available on an annual basis with pro rata accrual for part-year employment, requires prior sanction of the competent authority (or intimation within twenty-four hours if prior permission is not possible), forbids combining casual leave with other leave except special casual leave, limits spells to at least half a day and at most five consecutive days, and directs that up to fifty percent of unavailed casual leave at year-end be credited to ordinary leave, ignoring fractions.
