Donated leave may be used intermittently for the same event after the employee has satisfied the eligibility requirements to receive donated leave. (e) Donations shall be credited at the recipient’s current regular hourly rate of pay. (f) Accumulated leave includes but is not limited to sick, vacation, personal, and compensatory leave accruals. (g) Employees otherwise eligible for or receiving workers’ compensation will not be considered eligible to receive donations under this agreement.
