Donation Bank. In the event an employee suffers a prolonged illness or disability, which is supported by a statement of need from the attending physician, the employee may be eligible to use days donated by members of this bargaining unit as long as the employee has exhausted all of his/her sick and personal days. This illness or disability must be of an emergency nature and the leave must be taken as an uninterrupted block of time for each such illness or disability. No employee receiving compensation by any other means (i.e. workers compensation, long term disability) shall be eligible. Absences due to illness or disability will be designated as FMLA leave where permitted by law. Upon the request from an eligible employee, the Superintendent or designee will invite the donation of up to one sick day per school year per member, per incident, of the bargaining unit. In no school year shall the total number of donated days for an individual eligible employee exceed one day per member of the bargaining unit. However, additional days may be invited at the discretion of the Superintendent or designee. Unused donated days shall not accumulate. Any days not used shall be returned to the employees contributing such days on a random basis determined by the District, which determination may not be grieved. Donation of up to one sick leave day shall not be considered use of a sick day for purposes of the attendance incentive in Article 17, Section 3. If an employee chooses to donate more than one day per semester, the additional day shall affect the attendance incentive.
