2 AL selection order
The AL selection order page records when each person has finished selecting AL. It does not book AL for you.
Three rounds and three centre queues
- Round 1: the confirmed lucky-draw order. #P1–#P5 identifies the priority selection group; these staff go first within their centre.
- Rounds 2 and 3: seniority order. Hanes and Billy select in Round 1 only and are excluded from Rounds 2 and 3.
- Each round has three queues: Proton / AKN 3 in light blue, AKN 5 in deep blue, and Happy Valley in orange. One person in each centre can be selecting at the same time.
- The three queues can be active together, but the AL calendar still allows only one editing session. Wait for the calendar lock before entering your selection.
- The next person in your centre starts after you mark complete. The next round opens only after all three centres finish the current round.
When it is your turn
- Sign in, open the order page and select your own name under Your name. Check the selected round and centre.
- Find the Selecting now panel. Your completion button becomes available only when it is your turn and your selected name matches that person.
- Open the 2027 AL calendar and make your AL selection. Choose the correct nickname, lock the calendar, edit the relevant slots, save successfully and unlock it.
- Return to the order page and press I have completed Round 1 (or the current round number). Check that your row changes to Complete.
Mark complete only after your AL has been saved. Completion passes the turn to the next staff member. It does not add names to the calendar, and it is not the calendar's Save button.
Selection rules
- One whole week should be selected in the 1st round.
- Half a week may be selected in the 2nd round (Mon–Wed or Thu–Fri).
- Individual days may be selected in the 3rd round.
- Priority will be given to staff who are getting married or expecting a baby. Speak with the administrator about priority arrangements.
For Admin
Finish the final lucky draw, then press Confirm & send on the lucky-draw page. The order page receives that result. Sending a new result restarts all three rounds. Clear Round 1 order archives the current order and completion records and returns the page to waiting for new results; use it only when you intend to restart.
Everyone can view the order while signed out. A sign-in and the matching selected name are required to mark completion. If the page says it is waiting for a confirmed draw, the administrator must send the results first.
