Common use of DONATION OF LEAVE TIME Clause in Contracts

DONATION OF LEAVE TIME. A voluntary donation of annual leave from one employee to another may be permitted for the purpose of providing a regular employee with paid leave time for the care of him/herself, or an immediate family member, who is suffering from a catastrophic illness or injury or is disabled due to pregnancy, as determined by a physician or other qualified health care provider. Employees may donate annual leave time to other employees when all of the following conditions have been met: 1. The employee who is, or whose immediate family member is, suffering from a catastrophic illness or the employee is disabled due to pregnancy provides documentation of such injury or illness as verified by a qualified health care provider. 2. The employee receiving donated annual leave has exhausted, or soon will exhaust, all accrued leave such as annual leave, comp time, sick leave, holiday leave, administrative time off, etc. 3. The employee receiving the donation is not receiving Workers’ Compensation or Disability Insurance payments. 4. Donations of time shall be made in minimum increments of four (4) whole hour blocks of time. 5. To retain sufficient annual leave to meet their own needs, annual leave donors must not reduce their accumulated annual leave balance to fewer than eighty hours. 6. Approval is obtained by the Executive Director, or his/her designee, ensuring that these conditions have been met prior to the transfer of time from one employee to another. Nothing in this section shall be construed to require donations of time from one employee to another. To emphasize the voluntary nature of the donation, the names of the donors will not be made available to the recipient.
