ANNEX II - UNOPS

6.10.3 When a Call-Off Contract for deployment of a Contractor for less than three (3) months is
subsequently extended to reach or exceed three (3) months, provisions for AL and SL will start to
apply subject to the eligibility as specified in sections 6, 6.4 and 6.5 above, from the effective date of
the contract extension. Leave is not accumulated retroactively.
6.10.4 Similarly when a LC deployed at support level for less than three (3) months, the LC shall not be
subject to overtime pay. However, when exigencies of service require flexibility, compensatory time
off may be used. When the Call-Off Contract for deployment of the LC at support level for less than
three (3) months is subsequently extended to reach or exceed three (3) months, the LC becomes
eligible for overtime pay from the effective date of the contract extension.
6.11 Computation of Annual and Sick Leave
6.11.1 Absence from work of two (2) hours or longer and up to four (4) hours shall be counted as one half
(0.5) day. Absence of more than four (4) hours shall be counted as one (1) full day. Authorized
absences of less than two (2) hours taken by the Contractor at a time mutually agreeable to the
Contractor and UNOPS do not need to be recorded as annual leave.
6.11.2 For contract periods of less than one (1) full calendar month, and where the contract start and end
date fall in separate months, leave provisions shall be calculated as follows (subject to paragraphs
6.1.2, 6.4 and 6.5):
(i) When the contract start date falls between the 2 nd and the 16 th of the month: Two (2) days AL
and one (1) day SL for that calendar month.
(ii) When the contract start date falls on the 17 th of the month or later:
One (1) day AL and one (1) day SL for that calendar month.
(iii) When the contract end date falls between the 1 st and the 16 th of the month: One (1) day AL and
one (1) day SL for that calendar month.
(iv) When contract end date falls on the 17th of the month or later, but not on the last day of the
month: Two (2) days AL and one (1) day SL.
6.12 Leave Provisions While on Part-time Status
6.12.1 Contractor deployments for part-time work shall provide for annual and sick leave on a pro-rated
basis, as follows:
(i) When the part-time work is evenly distributed in the week (e.g. if a Contractor works 50%,
equal to twenty (20) hours per week, four (4) hours per day), then the leave provision would be
two-and-a-half (2.5) part-time days of AL and two (2) part-time days of SL per month. A parttime
day in this example would consist of four (4) working hours, and
(ii) When the part-time work is not distributed evenly (e.g. if a Contract works 50%, equal to
twenty (20) hours per week, two (2) full days and one half (0.5) day per week), then the leave
provision would be one-and-a-quarter (1.25) full-time AL days per month and one (1) full-time
SL day per month. A full-time day in this example would consist of eight (8) working hours.
6.12.2 Maternity Leave and Paternity Leave under part-time status would be calculated as sixteen (16)
weeks of Maternity Leave at part-time pay or four (4) weeks of Paternity Leave at part-time pay.
