Annual Business Plan (a) On or before November 15th of each year during the term of this Agreement, Manager shall prepare and submit to Owner for Owner's prior approval an annual business and leasing plan in accordance with the requirements of EXHIBIT D hereto (as such EXHIBIT D may be modified by Owner from time to time) (the "ANNUAL BUSINESS PLAN"). The Annual Business Plan shall be a comprehensive plan for the management, operation, leasing, repair, maintenance and promotion of the Property and for the other matters set forth on EXHIBIT D. Manager shall consult the Owner concerning the proposed Annual Business Plan and shall promptly incorporate therein such changes as Owner may direct. The Annual Business Plan, and all budgets contained therein, shall be in a form consistent with the Reporting Package.
(b) Manager shall: (i) perform its duties hereunder in accordance with the Approved Annual Business Plan; and (ii) use all reasonable efforts to ensure that the actual costs of maintaining and operating the Property do not exceed the operating budget (the "OPERATING BUDGET") which is a part of the Approved Annual Business Plan either in total or in any one accounting category. All actual expenses must be charged to the proper account on a basis consistent with the Operating Budget classifications and Reporting Package. Except in case of emergencies which could reasonably pose a threat of injury to persons or property, in which event Manager shall inform Owner of such emergency within two (2) business days, no expense may be reclassified except as needed to correct an inadvertent error. Manager will secure Owner's prior approval for any expenditure that will result in a variance of the greater of $5,000 or 5% of the annual budgeted amount in any one accounting line item of the Operating Budget. In addition, Manager shall obtain Owner's prior approval for any expenditure in excess of $5,000, regardless of whether such expenditure is set forth in the Approved Annual Business Plan.
(c) Owner shall have the right to require changes in the Approved Annual Business Plan from time to time; provided, however, that Owner shall provide Manager with at least fifteen (15) days' notice of such changes.

Training and Development 3.1 Authorities will develop local 'Workforce Development Plans (see Part 4.8),' closely linked to their service delivery plans, which will provide the focus for the establishment of training and development priorities. Training and development should be designed to meet the corporate and service needs of authorities both current and in the future, taking into account the individual needs of employees. Local schemes on training and development should enable authorities to attain their strategic objectives through development of their employees. Training and development provisions should be shaped to local requirements and take account of the full range of learning methods. Such an approach should enable access to learning for all employees. The needs of part time employees and shift workers need particular consideration.
3.2 Employees attending or undertaking required training are entitled to payment of normal earnings; all prescribed fees and other relevant expenses arising. Employees are also entitled to paid leave for the purpose of sitting for required examinations. When attending training courses outside contracted daily hours, part-time employees should be paid on the same basis as full- time employees. (Assistance for other forms of learning, for example that directed at individual development, will be locally determined). Some training can be very expensive and authorities may require repayment of all or part of the costs incurred should an employee leave the authority before a reasonable time period has expired. The authority's policy in this regard should be made explicit.
3.3 Objectives for training and development programmes should include the following: • To enable Councils to attain their strategic objectives via investment in their employees. • To promote equity of access to learning. • To encourage employees to develop their skills and level of responsibility to the maximum of their individual potential. • To widen and modernise the skills profile of employees to maximise their versatility, employability and so, job security. • To enable employees to raise productivity, quality and customer service in pursuit of sustainable improvement
3.4 Authorities should establish local partnership arrangements, to include recognised trade unions, to develop their local workforce development plans.
3.5 The NJC endorses partnership provision such as the "Return to Learn" scheme. Authorities and the recognised trade unions shall encourage and support employees taking on the statutory Union Learning Representative (ULR) role. This will include agreeing facilities and paid release in accordance with statutory provisions. ULRs should be enabled to play a full part in promoting and implementing local training and development programmes.
