DONATION OF PAID LEAVE. Employees may donate paid leave to a fellow employee who is otherwise eligible to accrue and use sick leave.

b. Has no accrued leave or has not been approved to receive other state or federal government paid benefits; and
c. Has applied for any paid leave, workers' compensation or benefits program for which the employee is eligible. Employees who have applied for these benefits may use donated leave to satisfy any waiting period for such benefits where applicable and donated leave may be used following a waiting period, if one exists, in an amount equal to the benefit provided by the program. (e.g. fifty-six hours per pay period may be used by an employee who has satisfied the disability waiting period and is pending approval; this amount is equal to the seventy percent (70%) provided by disability).
