Extended Unpaid Leave. Upon application in writing leave without pay up to a period of twelve months may be approved by the General Manager. Leave without pay will be granted only when all annual leave entitlements have been first expended and the period of leave without pay shall not be credited as service for any subsequent service-related entitlement calculations. This leave will interrupt but not break service. If the employee taking leave is unable to give exact guaranteed dates of absence, placement on return from leave without pay is conditional on a suitable vacancy and grading, and location cannot be guaranteed. The above shall not apply in the case of an employee returning from Parental Leave as service is deemed to be unbroken for the whole of the period of Parental Leave.
