agrees to discuss any significant change with you. It may request you to relocate residence if

24 To the extent permitted by law, your Employer may require you to take annual leave at certain

applicable Industrial Instruments. The annual leave you take will be deducted from your annual
leave entitlement set out in clause 20.

37.1 collect personal information from other people; or to
37.2 use or reveal personal information you have gained about other people,
