(a) at the time the direction is given:
(i) if the Employee is an Employee of HCL at the time that this Agreement is made, has 12 weeks or more of annual leave accrued; or

Excessive Leave. (a) Employees are expected to take regular annual leave. Prior approval from the employee’s manager shall be obtained to accrue leave greater than 20 days (if an employee accrues 4 weeks of annual leave) or 25 days (if an employee accrues 5 weeks of annual leave).
(b) Employees with greater than 40 accrued days (dependent upon the employee’s current accrual rate) accrued annual leave may be requested by the Company, with 14 days prior notice, to reduce their current balance to 20 or 25 days respectively or less.
(c) If the Company has genuinely tried to reach an agreement with the employee as to the timing of taking excessive leave (greater than 40 days), the Company can require the employee to take annual leave by giving not less than 14 days’ notice of time when such leave is to be taken.
Excessive Leave. (a) The Employer may direct an employee take a period of annual leave where the employee has accrued excessive annual leave. Excessive annual leave is defined as accrued leave in excess of 150% of the employee’s annual leave entitlement (e.g. in excess of 7.5 weeks leave for an Employee who has an entitlement to 5 weeks’ leave per year as an RN, EN or as a shift worker PCW). The Employer will not direct the Employee to reduce the accrued leave to less than 150% of their annual leave entitlement.
(b) The Employer has an expectation that each employee will take at least two weeks of annual leave in each year and reserves the right to discuss the taking of leave and fatigue issues where an Employee has not taken any leave for a period longer than six months and does not have leave planned.
(c) Where the employee has excessive annual leave, and before directing the employee to take a period of leave, the employer will:
(i) give the employee a reasonable opportunity to submit a plan to reduce the leave to not less than 150% more than their annual leave entitlement within three months; and
(ii) not unreasonably refuse to agree to a leave reduction plan which includes saving leave for an extended holiday within 12 months of the date of agreement, provided the plan will not result in the employee continuing to have an excessive leave balance taking in to account future accruals between agreeing to the leave plan and the taking of the leave.
