Hold on a sec, the CBI changed effective 1 Jun 09. It appears that GI Jane may have found a loophole, and DND just plugged it up with the amended CBI. It now reads:
(d) agrees to serve a period of cumulative
paid days of service calculated as follows;
(i) for Regular Force members, a period
equivalent to the period during which the
member received maternity allowance,
parental allowance or both, as applicable;
(ii) for Reserve Force members, a period
of cumulative paid days for service
calculated in accordance with the
following formula:Number of days of maternity, parental allowances paid to member under paragraphs (4),(5), (7) and (11) as applicable (multiplied by) Number of paid days served in the
364 day period immediately preceding the commencement of maternity leave, parental leave or any authorized leave without pay (divided by) 364
immediately after completing the maternity leave, parental leave or any other authorized leave without pay and allowances as applicable.
(TB,effective 1 Jun 09)
Compare that to the extract from CBIs that Vern posted in Reply #1 in the thread.
