Extraordinary leave may be granted when no other leave is due, subject to duration limits and exclusion from service benefits.

Extraordinary leave may be granted in exceptional circumstances when no other leave is due; it is subject to fixed maximum durations, may be combined with or continued from other admissible leave, and as a rule does not count for service benefits and increments, although the competent authority may direct that it count for increments where absence arose from illness or other causes beyond the employee's control.
