Each full day of duty, and full day of unpaid leave, in the member's pattern of service in the fortnight.

Each combination of part days of duty, and part days of unpaid leave, in the member's pattern of service in the fortnight that add up to 8 hours.
                                                                                                                                                      Note: A member ceases to provide effective service on the 22nd day of unpaid leave.
