Catastrophic Leave Plan Program Description. 1. Purpose and Scope Establish a City of San Diego-administered Catastrophic Leave Bank permitting City employees to assist other City employees who face extended leaves without pay due to a catastrophic occurrence in their lives. For the purpose of this plan, a “catastrophic occurrence” is defined as any event that would qualify the employee for a leave under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), other local, state, or federally protected leave, and other extraordinary circumstances as determined by the Human Resources Director or designee. Although this Program establishes a mechanism for leave transfers, participation is entirely voluntary. Employees who are entitled to annual leave are eligible to request a Catastrophic Leave Bank from their date of hire. Catastrophic Leave determinations are non-grievable. Catastrophic leave coverage shall be extended to events affecting registered domestic partners provided that a City of San Diego Affidavit of Domestic Partnership has been submitted.
