For the purposes of subregulation (2), an employee will be regarded as having taken recreation leave within 24 months after its accrual if the leave or any remaining balance of the leave is taken in a continuous period commencing before or at the end of that
24 months.
A public sector agency may require or permit an employee to take recreation leave in anticipation of its accrual, without application or later than 24 months after its accrual having regard to—
