You're asking one of your staff a piece of work which is not quite urgent.
1 "This is no hurry. So just fit it in whenever you have time, will you?"
2 "This can wait a while. Whenever you can get around to it is OK."
Are these natural? Any better expressions? Does this sound natural?

A little unnatural
I think instead of saying this is no hurry say there's no hurry to finish this. I hear that more often. Also instead of this can wait awhile use this can wait it's much more common. ^ - ^

A little unnatural
the 2nd one sounds better. also, if you were to go with the 1st one, i'd say "there's no hurry.so just fit it in/get it done whenever you have time" and omit the "will you?" part
