Pay Scale Regular Force - Do we have also a pay scale per day for extra days?

[Pusser]

Types of leave are all clearly defined in the Leave Manual, which draws its authority from QR&O Chapt 16.  There are many types of leave, but for the purposes of this thread, I'll stick to the common ones:

Annual:  20, 25 or 30 working days per year, depending on years of service

Weekend:  Normally, everyone in the CF is granted Weekend Leave unless required for duty.  COs may grant short leave to personnel who are required to work on weekends

Statutory Holidays(Stat):  Normally, everyone in the CF is entitled to 11 Stat Holidays per year (10 federal, one provincial).  Again, if required to work on a stat, COs may grant Short Leave in lieu.

Short:  COs may grant up to 48 hours Short Leave per calendar month.  All CTO, EDO or whatever else you want to call it are actually variations of Short Leave.  Historically, accounting for this has been poor.

Special:  This is much misunderstood.  Special Leave can only be granted on the authority of the CDS or the Minister.  Those types of Special Leave that have been pre-approved are clearly defined in the Leave Manual.  The most common type of Special Leave that everyone gets is the two days Special everyone gets for Christmas/New Year's.  Other types include Special Leave for Community Affairs.  A CO cannot simply grant "Special Leave" when he has no other type of leave at his disposal.  It must meet the definitions provided in the Leave Manual.

Notwithstanding what unit orders may say, there is no such thing as CTO or EDO.  If this is granted, it must be considered a form of Short Leave.

I won't get into Rehabilitation Leave, Sick Leave, etc.

What do you mean illegal? I've never seen a reference for CTO, but I have seen short leave (max 2 days) used plenty of times.

"Compulsory Time Off".  I saw that being used mostly among the "Truckers".  It was 'bucksheesh' days given to them by their supervisors.  There is no Leave Regulation on it.  These were not recorded as no Lve Passes were made.

CTO, EDO, ETO, none of them are "recognized" types of leave and for the most part are considered to be either "short leave" or "weekend leave" for recording purposes.  If you have been given "CTO (Compensatory Time Off)" and that leave pass hits your Leave Records, good luck during an Audit.

Unit CO's can grant Special Leave (Special Leave Relocation), see Art 5.11.01 in the Leave Manual and not just for Postings.  Have a closer look at Chapter 5, Annex B, Table 2, it's pretty clear to some but misunderstood by many.  Attached Postings and Other Status (including Operations, Trg Exercises, Career courses and Incremental Taskings).

Absence of 14 days or more but less than 30 - "1 day special"
Absence for 31 days or more - "2 days special"
Immediately upon return to home unit from duty for a period of 14 days or more - "2 days special"

There's already a huge, recent, convoluted thread on the "working overtime" policies. No need to start another.

The OP has their answer.

This thread has already diverted away from it's intended direction. Time to go.

Locked.
