Catastrophic Sick Leave Donations. These donations are to assist those full-time, regular, non-probationary, employees who are placed on an unpaid medical-related leave of absence due to a non-occupational catastrophic illness or injury, or who have a terminally ill or injured spouse or child, after exhausting all other available paid leave. This program does not supersede nor replace other disability or retirement programs. This program is administered county wide by the Personnel Department.
Catastrophic Sick Leave Donations. (A) Bargaining unit members may contribute accumulated sick days for the benefit of another bargaining unit member who has exhausted all leaves as a result of a catastrophic illness or injury. Donated days of sick leave will be debited from the member’s accumulated sick leave account on an hourly basis. No individual member may contribute more than 20 days of sick leave per eligible catastrophic event.
