Questions about leave system now
-
I have a problem and i need some advise. Polytechnic all starts in 17th April next year. My ORD date is "oh-so-nice" 20th April
The current Leave system is such that you cannot bring over Leaves from one year to another. Can someone who was in the same situation (for instance ORDing in March or April) tell me how many days of leaves you get if you ORD in mid/late April?
I just need exactly 4 days of leaves and i can apply to any polytechnic in Singapore. 1 day lesser and i can't. This is a strict polytechnic ruling for NS guys because they won't accept even missing one day of lessons due to ORD date reasons. -
Based on your ORD date, which is 20 April 2006, I assume your enlistment date is on 21 April 2004.Originally posted by AheadOnOurWay:I have a problem and i need some advise. Polytechnic all starts in 17th April next year. My ORD date is "oh-so-nice" 20th April

Do take note that NSF personnel that enlist before December 2004 will not be affected by the new Leave Scheme.
Hence, you are able to bring forward your leave this year, to next year. -
Thanks for replying. But according to the MINDEF directive, people who enlisted BEFORE december 2004 can bring Leave ONLY over from 2004 to 2005, but i don't think they can do so from 2005-2006 right?

Also anyone who ORDed in April before can tell me how many days of leave you will have in THAT YEAR ? Thanks. -
why not just take days off??
do something people don't do often, go talk to your officer. -
when were u enlistined?
b
efore dec 2004? ===> the latest GOM that stated no bring forward of leaves DOESNT AFFECT YOU AT ALL
after dec 2004? ===>whatever leav you are entitled to for that particular year needs to be consumed. no carrying forward.
if you are short of 1 or 2 days of leave, maybe you can earn off from your boss. if not possible, ask from them. most probably they will give it to you.
ask for calculation of leaves, its is rather difficult to explain. but this is all that i can explain to you.
lets said you are enlisted on the 20th of april
april has 30 days. so enlist on the 20th, you will serve 10 days on apirl
from 20th of april to 31st dec, you would have
10 days + 8 months.
10 days
10/30 * 14/12
8 months
8/12 * 14 -
under the new system, i wonder what about those poor guys that enlist in november or december

your leave will not be affected since you are enlisted (my guess latest dec 03?) as i ORDing slightly earlier than you (also in Apr)Originally posted by AheadOnOurWay:I have a problem and i need some advise. Polytechnic all starts in 17th April next year. My ORD date is "oh-so-nice" 20th April

As tErI-yAkI guessed correctly, my enlistment date was 21st April 2004. I am only serving 2 years and what i thought was that only people serving more than 2 years can bring their leaves overOriginally posted by duotiga83:your leave will not be affected since you are enlisted (my guess latest dec 03?) as i ORDing slightly earlier than you (also in Apr)
duotiga83 : Your ORD date is around the same time as mine? In that case, are you bringing over your leaves from this year to 06? If you are and you CAN, then i suppose i should be able to do so too.
And to the rest, thanks for the suggestions. However the staff sergeant i am working directly under is not a pleasant person. Even if i can eventually beg 1 or 2 days of OFF from him, i will have to suffer alot of humiliation at the expense of his amusement. I am in no way whining nor being bitter about it, i am just stating fact-wise that there is no way i can get OFF from my superior so i might well find out more about the new Leave system so i can plan my leaves exactly to start poly in time.
Anyway, thanks for the help. -

my ord date is 060606. poly starts around april.I am wondering if i could disrupt for studies in poly???

Yes you may do so, subject to your unit's superior approval.Originally posted by armourer_tab:my ord date is 060606. poly starts around april.I am wondering if i could disrupt for studies in poly???
Another alternative is, you may wish to apply for early release. But I guess this may be tough for you as the difference is 2 months there about.
No point disrupt and serve the remaining 1-2 months after graduation. -

You will not be affected by the new system. You can still carry forward your leave balance.
