couple of things

Because of this lapsing have more annual leave slots been opened up for staff to select? if not then insist that you want extra leave made availible for summer staffing lapsing

Does your rep go to a weekly resourcing meeting to look at forecast traffic levels and compare it to the model week used in your revision?

theres your problem then potentially, what should be happening is a resourcing meeting once a week looking at the following week, the forecast traffic should be compared to your model week traffic agreed in your revision, if its below the model week then you should have scope to lapse, if its above then not, if above then rep should be insisting that overtime be offered to cover any absence that would have been lapsed
