Extraordinary leave permits unpaid absence when other leave is unavailable, subject to duration limits and limited increment protection.

Extraordinary leave may be granted where no other leave is due and sick or special leave is not justified. It is ordinarily limited to 90 days on one occasion and 360 days during service. The competent authority may combine it with other admissible leave or retrospectively convert unauthorised absence into extraordinary leave. The leave is unpaid and normally does not count for increments, but may count where illness or another cause beyond the employee's control justified the absence.
