"The Philippines: Past and Present (Volume 1 of 2)"


Half pay in African and Asiatic colonies may accumulate for twelve
years' service--_i.e._ twenty-four months' half-pay leave.
(5) After the exhaustion of all vacation leave and half-pay leave,
an advance of six months' half-pay leave may be made on special
grounds ("urgent private affairs" or illness supported by a medical
certificate), the advance being charged against leave accruing
subsequently.
(6) For the purpose of visiting home, an officer may be granted
the vacation leave due him (which is never more than three months)
on full pay, and his accumulated half-pay leave, to commence at the
expiration of his vacation leave.
(7) Judicial and education officers do not receive the vacation leave
described in paragraph 3 above, the vacation of courts and schools
being considered equal to this, but they do receive the half-pay leave
described in paragraph 4, and may, when visiting home on half-pay
leave, receive full pay during any ordinary vacation of the court
or school.
It will be noted that although officers in the British colonial service
are allowed much longer periods of absence, the greater part of their
absence is on half pay and the total money value of the leave allowable
in the British colonial service and in the Philippine civil service
is about the same.
