Design a leave policy. Types of leave to cover: [LEAVE_TYPES]. Staff numbers and work patterns: [STAFF_PROFILE]. Legal minimums that I know of: [KNOWN_MINIMUMS]. Business constraints (peak periods, coverage): [CONSTRAINTS].

Create a policy framework: Leave type | Entitlement | Eligibility | How to request | Approval and notice | Pay | Records | Notes. Cover annual leave, sick leave, parental and family leave, bereavement, public holidays, unpaid leave, jury or civic duty, and caring leave as relevant. Add rules for carry-over, accrual for part-time staff, blackout periods, and how conflicts are resolved fairly.

Include a calculation example for pro-rata leave (full entitlement x days worked per week / full-time days per week) with numbers, a request form, a manager approval checklist, and a table of questions that must be confirmed with an employment lawyer because statutory entitlements differ in [JURISDICTION] [VERIFY]. Do not assert statutory entitlements; use placeholders. Keep language plain.

Framework row: Annual leave | Full-time entitlement [DAYS] | Eligible after probation | Request 4 weeks ahead for 5 or more days | Manager approves within 5 working days | Paid | Recorded in HR system.
Pro-rata example: full-time entitlement 25 days; employee works 3 of 5 days; entitlement = 25 x 3 / 5 = 15 days.
Carry-over: up to 5 days, used by 31 March.
Blackout: 2 weeks around year-end close; conflicts resolved by request date, then rotating priority.
Sick leave: notify by 9 a.m.; evidence after [N] days.
Parental, bereavement, caring: statutory minimums differ by place; placeholders only.
Questions for an employment lawyer: statutory minimums, pay during sick leave, accrual for part-time [VERIFY].
