The hours of leave transferred under this Article which remain unused shall be returned to the employee or employees who transferred the leave when the County finds that the leave is no longer needed or will not be needed at a future time in connection with the illness or injury for which the leave was transferred. To the extent administratively feasible, hours transferred shall be returned to the donor on a last donated, first returned basis. This program provides for the transfer of annual leave on an hour-for-hour basis. No consideration will be given to the dollar value of the leave donated.
