Cash Award in Lieu of Leave is a cash award given to Public Service Members who do not have the chance to spend their annual leave for the service’s sake.

The Cash Award in Lieu of Leave came into effect on 1 January 1974 through Service Circular Number 1/1974 and is only granted to Public Service Members who retire on or after 1 January 1974.

The GCR Award is only given to Permanent Members (including probationary officers) and Temporary Members in Public Service who retire under the Pensions Act 1980.

Officers who resigned or were dismissed due to disciplinary action are not eligible for the GCR Award.

Leave accumulation for the purpose of Cash Award in Lieu of Leave is based on the provision of para 21(1) of Pension Rules 1980, related Service Circulars and Chapter C of General Orders.

The GCR formula is as follows:

1/30 × accumulated annual leave (no. of days) × (last pay + * fixed allowance)

The fixed allowances are:

• Fixed Premier Post Allowance
• Fixed Housing Allowance (ITP)
• Fixed Entertainment Allowance (ITK)
• Fixed Public Service Allowance (ITKA)

Subject to a maximum of 150 days

The Public Service Department (PSD) is responsible for approving and paying the Cash Award in Lieu of Leave to federal public service pensioners, while state public service, statutory body and local authority pensioners will be paid by the last Department they served.

The GCR payment will be made within 21 days from the officer’s retirement date.

For couples who got married while in the service, their children’s entitlements are until 21 years of age or marriage, whichever comes first, or until graduation at the first-degree level.
