Common use of Hardship Leave Clause in Contracts

Hardship Leave. IPSA Holders with agreements of six months or longer based in duty stations designated as hardship duty stations D and E, are eligible for a paid hardship leave of two working days per month to recover from working in a designated hardship duty station and to allow IPSA Holders to stock up on basic goods needed for everyday life which are not necessarily available at the designated duty station. Once an IPSA Holder under an International IPSA has accrued six days of hardship leave, no additional hardship leave days can be accrued unless the accrued days are utilized. All hardship leave must be taken within the period of the IPSA and subject to a maximum of six consecutive working days at a time. If the IPSA is extended for an additional period, the IPSA Holder may carry over accrued leave to the subsequent agreement period up to a maximum of six days as of the cut-off date of 1 April of any given year. Unused hardship leave is not commutable to cash. For Regular IPSAs where the starting or ending months are of less than one full calendar month, hardship leave shall be pro-rated to the nearest half day. When an IPSA of an initial duration of less than six months is subsequently extended to reach or exceed six months, provisions for hardship leave will apply from the effective date of the IPSA extension. Leave is not accumulated retroactively.
