• (a) in the case of leave under the circumstances described in paragraph 7(1)(a) or subsection 7(2) or (3), an amount equal to the amount of contributions they would have been required to pay under section 19 of the Act had they not been so absent; and

• (b) in any other case, an amount equal to twice the amount of contributions they would have been required to pay under section 19 of the Act had they not been so absent.

(2) The contributions required to be paid under subsection (1) shall be paid at the same time and in the same manner as the contributions required to be paid under section 7 and section 7 applies as though the contributions required to be paid under subsection (1) were paid under section 7.

(3) Notwithstanding subsection (2), the contributions required to be paid under subsection (1) by a contributor employed in operational service to whom subsection 7.2(2) or section 7.3 applies shall be paid at the same time and in the same manner as the contributions required to be paid under subsection 7.2(2) or section 7.3, whichever is applicable.

(4) Where any amount payable by a contributor under this section is unpaid at the time they cease to be employed in the public service, that amount shall be paid at the same time and in the same manner as described in subsection 7.2(4).
