17.6.7 Example - Approval for attendance outside hours of duty

A member requests approval to undertake a degree in Accounting. She does not need to take study leave d — uring work hours in this semester as all her lectures/tutorials are after 5pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. She supplies her Unit commander with a list of her contact hours. Approval by her Unit will mean a reimbursement of her fees at the end of the year if she passes her subjects. The Unit commander's approval is therefore based on the course itself. Information on contact hours is a recognition that attendance at those times is part of the approval.
