RULES AS TO LEAVE AND PENSIONS, etc..
IN
HONG KONG,
1. The existing regulations as to leave of absence are as follows:- (a) An officer is eligible for the grant of vacation leave at the rate of one-eighth of his resident service during his current tour of service, that is, the period from first arrival in the Colony or from return from long leave to the date of next proceeding on long leave.
(b) Periods spent on vacation leave shall not count as resident
service under paragraph (a).
(c) An officer proceeding home on long leave or on retirement may be granted such vacation leave as he would be eligible for in respect of his current tour calculated at the above rate, after deducting any vacation leave already granted during that tour; provided that he may not, in any case, be granted more than five months' vacation leave; and provided also that the above maximum of five months will be reduced by the equivalent of any vacation leave taken by an officer during the last twelve months of his
tour.
(d) Subject to the necessities of the service, leave of absence on half salary may be granted after a period of four and a-half years' resident service without any special grounds. It may be given before the expiration of that period in cases of serious indisposition or of urgent private affairs. In the absence of special grounds the leave in such cases must not exceed one-sixth of the officer's resident service; on special grounds it may exceed that period by six months. (e) An officer may at the discretion of the Governor be permitted to commute half-pay leave to full-pay leave of half the period; provided that any period of combined vacation and commuted leave shall not exceed ten months. Extensions of leave may, however, in special circumstances be granted by the Secretary of State on such conditions as he may approve.
2. Free passages after four and a-half years' resident service are at present granted to officers and their families when proceeding on leave, but this rule is liable to revision at the end of 1923,
