JSP 760 Tri-Service Regulations for Leave and Other Types of Absence Part 1: Directive

Summary: Joint Service Publication (JSP) 760 - Tri-Service Regulations for Leave and other Types of Absence - has a broad remit and encompasses the majority of reasons for the absence of a Service person from their designated place of work. These include the various types of leave available and those occasions when Service personnel1 are absent for other reasons, such as jury service or when in civil custody. Absences may be either pre-planned or in reaction to particular circumstances. Either way, all absences must be recorded on the Joint Personnel Administration (JPA) System to allow for the appropriate pay, allowances or career management action to be taken, and for the provision ofaccurate management information. Service personnel are not able to input leave retrospectively onto the JPA system, therefore Annual Leave requests must be submitted to unit HR at least 48 hours prior to the proposed period of absence.
