        (1)         Subject to this regulation, a prescribed employee is entitled to recreation leave as follows:

            (a)         such recreation leave as is specified in an applicable industrial award or agreement; but

            (b)         if a determination by the board in relation to recreation leave entitlements is at any time in force—such recreation leave as is specified in that determination.

        (2)         A determination referred to in subregulation (1)(b)—

            (a)         may relate to prescribed employees of a specified class; and

            (b)         cannot provide for recreation leave entitlements that are less than those that would, but for that determination, apply under an applicable industrial award or agreement.

        (3)         A part-time prescribed employee is entitled to pro rata recreation leave in respect of his or her hours of duty.

        (4)         Recreation leave accrues on an annual basis in respect of completed years of service, but if a prescribed employee resigns or retires before the end of a given year of service, the employee is in respect of that year entitled to payment of recreation leave entitlements on a pro rata basis.

        (5)         The chief executive may require a prescribed employee to take recreation leave at specified times, and if a prescribed employee who has not completed a year of service is so required, leave will be granted on a pro rata basis.

        (6)         Recreation leave must be taken within 1 year of accrual unless the chief executive approves otherwise, but all such leave must be taken within a period of 2 years from accrual.
