LEAVE PLANNING. 1.15.1 SkyCity understands the importance of Employees being able to plan their leave. In order to assist with this, Employees will be provided with a leave planner in accordance with the relevant departmental schedule showing their individual leave entitlement, public holidays, religious holidays, school holidays and periods of limited leave availability. The leave planner will be for the period set out in the departmental process.
1.15.2 Employees who wish to apply for leave using the leave planner must submit the completed planner to their manager by the agreed date. Leave will be allocated as far as possible as requested, taking into account the number of employees SkyCity can have absent during any period in order to meet operational needs.
1.15.3 If there is a conflict of leave applications and/or leave cannot be granted because of operational needs, SkyCity will first of all discuss the matter with the Employees concerned and ask them if they can resolve the matter among themselves. If this is not possible, SkyCity will allocate leave applying equal employment opportunity principles (including recognition of family and cultural obligations) and taking into account length of service and fairness between employees. Leave requests will be responded to within 14 days of receipt.
1.15.4 Employees will be told about their leave allocation by the date set out in the relevant department schedule. If they need to change their leave after that date because of changed or special circumstances, SkyCity will accommodate their request to change wherever possible.

LEAVE PLANNING. ANZ's objective is to accommodate leave preferences of Employees wherever possible. Leave planning is to be undertaken between you and your manager. In preparing a leave plan the following process will occur:
(i) ANZ should endeavour to accommodate preferred leave dates from Employees for the coming year taking into account leave dates taken by individuals in previous years (particularly peak leave times such as school holidays and Christmas). ANZ should also consider arrangements that allow Employees to make the most of scheduling, rostering and other days off to extend their periods of annual leave.
(ii) Prior to finalisation, ANZ’s managers should discuss proposed leave schedules, resultant relief opportunities and consequential training requirements with all affected Employees in the workplace and encourage input from Employees as to how situations may be resolved where ANZ has not been able to accommodate preferences. Where an Employee transfers to another workplace, existing leave arrangements will require further confirmation; however every reasonable effort should be made by ANZ to accommodate current leave plans.
LEAVE PLANNING. Employees are required to submit leave requests using ATAAPS/OPM Form 71, Request for Leave or Approved Absence. Supervisors will expeditiously inform employees of their approval/disapproval of annual leave requests. Supervisors will make reasonable efforts to schedule and to approve requested annual leave in such a manner throughout the leave year so that no employee forfeits leave at the end of the calendar year. However, it is agreed that it is the employee's responsibility to request use or lose leave in a timely manner in order to preclude end of the year forfeiture.
LEAVE PLANNING. The parties shall consult and schedule according to production requirements in regard to annual and long service leave arrangements to ensure that production needs are achieved and that employees benefit properly from such leave, resulting in a reduction of un-coordinated unplanned absenteeism. As far as practicable employees who request periods of annual leave will be provided with a response within a period of two weeks from the date of their request; Nothing will limit the employer’s right to grant or refuse a request for annual leave subject to operational needs.
