Blood Donation. Workload permitting, Employees who volunteer as blood donors either to blood banks without compensation, or directly to individuals, may be excused for the time necessary for this purpose without charge to leave or loss of pay. An Employee donating blood at an off-hospital facility shall inform his/her supervisor within a reasonable time in advance of his/her intent to donate blood, except in emergency situations, which preclude advance notification. Employees will go directly to the designated blood bank or hospital. The receptionist or nurse will annotate the Employee’s arrival and departure time. Employees who are unable to donate blood will return directly to work or be charged leave. Normally, the maximum excused absence shall not exceed two hours when the donation is on-site, but may be up to four hours for donation off-site when other special circumstances apply.
