What you need to know
Special Paid Leave may be taken:
- when you are engaged in paid activities such as sport at national level or cultural events
- when your entry into or exit from any stage of military training is delayed and it is not possible to find suitable employment and/or accommodation for you
- to sit civil examinations, with the agreement of your Commanding Officer (exceptionally, where you have no annual leave left, Special Paid Leave may also be granted to study for these examinations)
It is important that you have read and understood JSP 760 - Tri-Service Regulations for Leave and Other Types of Absences before proceeding.
You will normally be required to take a proportion of your annual leave before Special Paid Leave is granted.
What you need to do
You will need to speak to your Line Manager, Unit HR Admin or Personnel Office and then apply through JPA.
