Common use of Contributing Maternity Leave Donations Clause in Contracts

Contributing Maternity Leave Donations. Employees may contribute accrued vacation leave or earned compensatory time to benefit another State employee in the same agency who requests MLD. Vacation leave and earned compensatory time shall be donated in no less than 4 hour increments. The contributing employee must identify the specific amount of time donated and the name of the recipient of the donated time on the appropriate forms for that purpose. Vacation leave and compensatory time donated and transferred to another State employee pursuant to this provision shall be irrevocably credited to the recipient’s MLD account. Vacation leave and compensatory time transferred shall be converted to a dollar value and then converted to hours based on the recipient’s hourly rate (e.g., the leave donor’s salary is $12.00 per hour and the recipient’s salary is $24.00 per hour, thus, in this case, twice the amount of hours is needed to achieve full conversion.) No more than an equivalent of 480 hours of MLD may be received by an employee during a twelve-month period. No more hours than required during the approved FML period should be received. (e.g., the employee has 2 weeks of paid sick leave accrued. After the 2 weeks of accrued sick leave is used, the employee can only request 4 weeks of donated leave to fill a 6 week FML request.) The agency shall transfer donated leave to the recipient’s account from the donor’s accruals in chronological order based on the date the form was received and on an as needed basis.
