Strict sandwich leave: Not sure what this means.

Looked it up. It's a totally ridiculous policy IMHO. Here's an example:

You ask for this Friday off. You ask for next Monday off. You already had the weekend off.
They approve it. Four days of leave are deducted from your allotment.

It means weekends sandwiched by leave count as leave. They're burning your leave for days that you already had off.

The password thing is double-edged. Let them change it and they'll pick something easy to guess. Don't let them change it and they'll put a post-it note with the password on the laptop because they can't remember it. Letting the user change it, but enforcing strength requirements is about the best you can do before going to biometrics or physical keys.
