Re-Engagement Leave

Re-engagement Leave is a period of Authorised Absence granted to Service personnel who joined the Services before 31 Mar 99 as an inducement to commit for a further period of service and as compensation for the postponement of Terminal Leave. 

20 working days’ Re-engagement Leave may be granted provided that the extension or re-engagement does not take place during, or on completion of, Terminal Leave.  Re-engagement Leave will be permitted only for one instance of extension or re-engagement, after which entitlement will be forfeited.  Service personnel, however, who are granted a period of Re-engagement Leave prior to 1 Apr 99, will retain a reserved right to further period of Re-engagement Leave upon successful re-engagement to complete 22 years’ service.

Under no circumstances will more than one period of Re-engagement Leave be permitted.
