22. LEAVE TO ATTEND PROCEEDINGS AS A WITNESS
[21 renumbered as 22 by PR933442 ppc 02Jun03]
Leave of absence with full pay will be granted to an employee summonsed as a witness to any industrial proceedings under the Workplace Relations Act 1996. The leave will be for only such time as that employee is necessarily absent from duty attending as a witness. Where the witness is stationed at a place more than 24 kilometres from the place of hearing, the grant of leave on pay will be subject to a certificate from a member of the AIRC or the Industrial Registrar or a Deputy Industrial Registrar than the attendance of that witness was reasonably necessary for the proper presentation of the case.
