If exigencies of service do not allow any such leave to be taken before separation, compensation for any untaken annual leave shall exceptionally be paid. In the event of the SC holder’s resignation, any untaken annual leave shall be taken before the separation; under no circumstances shall compensation be paid for untaken accrued annual leave.
