| 1. |
The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) is committed to assist its employees requiring special leave of absence for the above purpose, taking into account fairness/equity and operational requirements. |
| 2. |
As the IEC could again approach employees to assist with the conducting of the elections in the Western Cape Province, the following arrangements in this regard are brought to your attention: |
| 2.1 |
WCED employees will have to apply for special leave to be absent from their normal duties on the dates on which they will be required to report for training and duties related to the elections. Written proof of appointment by the IEC must accompany the application for special leave. When such an application is considered, operational requirements must be thoroughly taken into account. |
| 2.2 |
The IEC may remunerate persons appointed to assist in the elections. The WCED will not be responsible for any additional arrangements and subsistence and travel costs. |
| 3. |
Should any further correspondence be received from the IEC or the Department of Public Service and Administration, you will be notified accordingly. |
