No unused annual leave in any annual leave year will be carried over into subsequent years, unless in the unlikely event that We prevent you from taking Your annual leave for business reasons.
In periods of high activity, We may ask You to work at a time when Your preference may be to take annual leave.

You are encouraged to book Your annual leave early to avoid the possibility of disappointment.
