4.0.1. For the purposes of this plan, an absence without pay is an absence that is provided for in the conditions of employment of the absent person and authorized by his employer, for which the person does not receive pay, and during which the person would have been expected to perform or could have performed work had it not been for the absence.
The Government may, by regulation, determine any other absence that constitutes an absence without pay and for which, if applicable, the absent person is considered a person to whom this plan applies.
