Crisis Leave Sharing Program. Unit members may contribute accrued vacation, compensatory time, or one (1) day of accrued sick leave per calendar year to benefit another employee at the same College who is suffering from a catastrophic illness. To be eligible to receive leave, employees must have exhausted their own leave options, have been employed for at least twelve (12) consecutive months and have been absent for at least thirty (30) days during the prior six (6) months. To be eligible to donate sick leave, employees must maintain a minimum of one hundred sixty (160) hours of sick leave. Accrued vacation or sick leave may be donated in no less than one (1) day increments. 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 and including a unit member. 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 (90) days in a twelve (12) month period. The crisis leave sharing program will permit salary and insurance continuation for those employees receiving shared leave. Details of this program are available at the Human Resource Office and on the HR Website.
