Pay

13.—(1) Subject to the provisions of this Regulation, the rate of pay of a police cadet shall be in accordance with the appropriate scale set out in Schedule 2 hereto.

(2) Except where his pay falls to be reduced in accordance with paragraph (3), there shall be deducted from the pay of a police cadet the amount of any sickness benefit or injury benefit to which he is entitled under the Social Security Act 1975 and for this purpose any earnings related supplement or increase for adult and child dependants shall be treated as forming part of the benefit to which it relates.

(3) Where on the first or any succeeding day of a continuous period of sick leave the aggregate sick leave taken by a police cadet during the period of 12 months ending with that day—

(a) exceeds 3 months, then (without prejudice to the next following sub-paragraph), his pay shall be reduced by a half in respect of that continuous period or, as the case may be, in respect of so much thereof as falls on or after that day;

(b) exceeds 4 months, then, he shall not be entitled to pay in respect of that continuous period or, as the case may be, in respect of so much thereof as falls on or after that day:

Provided that this paragraph shall not apply where the cadet is unfit for duty as a result of an injury or disease which, in the opinion of the police authority, was received or contracted without his own default in the execution of his duty, or where the Secretary of State so directs.

(4) If the chief officer of police so determines, a police cadet shall not be entitled to pay in respect of a period of special leave or of unauthorised absence from duty.
