In that case, the period of absence does not begin before the date on which the criminal offence was committed, or before the expiry of the period provided for in the first paragraph, where applicable, and does not end later than 104 weeks after the commission of the criminal offence.

The first 2 days taken annually are remunerated according to the calculation formula described in section 6.03.1, with any adjustments required in the case of division.

Nothing in the first paragraph prevents an employer from dismissing, suspending or transferring an employee if, in the circumstances, the consequences of an absence for a reason described in section 8.09 or the repetitive nature of the absences constitute good and sufficient cause.
