to the extent that business requirements permit
Asker's criterion: "Target audience in English presumably international employees in Germany."
i.e. not all English native speakers. Hence the need for a reader-friendly formulation.
betrieblich: legitimate requirements of the business
darstellbar: reasonable in the circumstances
BTW Shouldn't that first comma be a semi-colon?
Supervisors are responsible for approving and scheduling Vacation/Annual Leave of their employees prior to actual absences, and will accommodate employee requests to the extent that the workload and department requirements permit.

... to the extent that NHS business requirements permit.

Thanks, Steffen. It should indeed, but at least a semi-colon would explain the lower case on 'soweit'.
