5.4.24    Payment
1.   A member who has been approved to purchase recreation leave credits must pay the cost of those leave credits.
2.   The member's fortnightly payment is calculated using the table in subsection 3.

5.    Divide the outcome of Step 4 by the number of pay periods over which the member elected to make payments.
