For purposes of this section, “catastrophic” means an illness or injury that is expected to incapacitate the Unit Member for an extended period of time and whose personal illness or injury prevents them from performing the necessary functions of their job for a period of time that extends beyond all other leave available to the Unit Member. 9.6.2 Upon approval, it is the responsibility of the Unit member who is contributing leave to fill out the Employer generated “Sick Leave Donation Form” to initiate this action and deliver the form to the Human Resources Department. The Employer will then transfer the number of days authorized to the Unit Member in need. 9.6.3 Transferred days from a Unit Member are lost to Unit member whether the days are used or not by the receiving Unit Member. 9.6.4 A Unit Member cannot contribute catastrophic leave while in probationary status. 9.6.5 In no case shall such leave extend beyond sixty (60) days of paid leave.

The request must be accompanied by a medical statement from the attending physician estimating the amount of time the employee will be unable to work and the expected return to duty date. The Association will establish eligibility standards and will review the request to verify the employee's eligibility to receive leave donations. The Association will conduct the solicitation of donations and will be limited to an information-only solicitation, with no personal lobbying by employees. Solicitations will be conducted for a 30-day period of time and all donations will be submitted to the Association on the provided form.
