Part 9 Division 4 only applies to the CDF, the VCDF and Service Chiefs.

Example: A member is on recreation leave and gets influenza. The doctor advises they are unfit for duty for three days. The member can be re-credited the working days that fall in that three-day period.

Non-example 1: A member attends a medical appointment to get a prescription refilled while on leave. This takes much less than 24 hours, and in that time the member is not unfit for duty. The member is not eligible to have their recreation leave re-credited.

Non-example 2: A member attends a fitness assessment while on leave. They are not ill, are not formally recalled from leave, and attend for only a short period. The member is not eligible to have their recreation leave re-credited.

Example 1: A member is recalled to duty for operational reasons. They are re-credited the recreation leave they did not take between the formal recall and the end of the leave period they would otherwise have taken.

Example 2: A member dies two weeks before they were due to return to duty from recreation leave. The two weeks of leave are re-credited so the member's entitlements can be paid to their estate.

If a member takes 2 weeks of recreation leave at half pay, which includes 2 weekends, their salary for the entire period of leave is reduced by 50% and their recreation leave balance is reduced by 5 days.

Example: A member who is placed for a period as a resident medical officer at a civilian hospital.
