Common use of Crisis Leave Donations Clause in Contracts

Crisis Leave Donations. Faculty members may contribute three (3) days of accrued sick leave per leave per calendar year to benefit another employee at the same College who is suffering from a catastrophic illness. Sick leave shall be donated in no less than a one (1) day increment. Hours donated, but not used, will be maintained in a shared leave pool and distributed on an as needed basis to eligible employees by a Shared Leave Committee designated by the College which shall include at least one (1) faculty member from the SCEA bargaining unit. The Committee will determine the amount of donated leave an employee may receive and may only authorize an employee to use up to a maximum of ninety days (90) in a twelve (12) month period. To be eligible to receive donated leave, an employee must have been employed for one (1) academic year, had absences of at least thirty (30) days during the prior six (6) months and have exhausted all paid leave. The crisis leave-sharing program will permit salary and health insurance continuation for those employees receiving shared leave. Details of the Crisis Leave Sharing Program are available at the College Human Resources Office.
