CHAPTER IX PASSAGES AND BAGGAGE ALLOWANCES

Savings on annual leave passages may be used as under CSR 1385 (also see CSR 1337(4)). Savings may not be carried forward except in the case of a split passage (see (5) above) where savings from the first split passage may be carried forward to the second split passage as detailed in Annex 9.2. An officer or an eligible family member who does not take any annual leave passage would not constitute savings within the context of this regulation.

(7)

Where an officer has taken study leave, unpaid leave, vacation leave/overseas addition (but except when combined with annual leave under CSR 1232(1) (e)) during an annual leave eligibility period, his annual leave passage allowance will remain unchanged but the 12-month eligibility period will be extended by the period of such leave taken (also see CSR 1233(2)) ; however,

cases involving officers re-employed after retirement under CSRS 270, 275 or 277 should be referred to the Secretary for the Civil Service.

(8)

(a) An officer who becomes eligible for a higher grading of passage in the course of a 12-month passage eligibility period may be granted a passage of the higher grading if he has not already taken his passage for that particular eligibility period.

(b)

be

If an officer in (a) above has already taken his passage and has incurred excess passage cost, he may be reimbursed the excess cost up to the non-standard passage allowance relating to the higher passage grading if

if the promotion takes retrospective effect before the commencement date of the passage.
