Hardship donations Clause Samples
The Hardship Donations clause establishes a mechanism for providing financial assistance or donations to parties experiencing significant hardship. Typically, this clause outlines the conditions under which a party may request or receive such donations, such as unforeseen personal or financial difficulties, and may specify the process for evaluating and approving these requests. Its core practical function is to offer a structured way to support individuals or entities facing unexpected challenges, thereby promoting fairness and compassion within the contractual relationship.
Hardship donations. Employees may apply for hardship leave while on Family Medical Leave. Employees shall apply in writing to the Human Resources Manager, or designee, accompanied by the treating physician’s written FMLA/OFLA statement certifying that the prolonged serious health condition of the employee, or a prolonged serious health condition in the employee’s immediate family, will continue after the employee is projected to exhaust all accumulated paid leave. Leave donations received are limited for use while the employee is on a qualified FMLA/OFLA leave. Hardship leave is not intended to cover intermittent FMLA leave nor any period of time that precedes the date of the hardship leave request. Upon determination that the written request satisfies the hardship leave requirements, the County shall approve one leave totaling at least one calendar week in length, and not more than four hundred eighty (480) hours during the term of this agreement. Approval shall be subject to availability of donations from County employees to cover all hardship leave costs. The Human Resources Director, or designee, shall initiate and collect donation(s) on a form the County provides. Employees may donate accumulated paid leave to an employee who qualifies for hardship leave. The donated paid leave shall be donated in increments of eight (8) hours and such donated leave will be credited hour for hour. Employees who receive such donated leave shall only be credited with such amounts as required to continue the employee’s wage during the period of hardship leave. Excess contributions of paid leave shall be returned to the employees who donated paid leave in the proportion of the contribution by the donating employees and the use by the employee on hardship leave.
Hardship donations. The City will allow employees to make donations of accumulated vacation leave into a "leave bank." Vacation leave may also be donated to a specific employee, if the eligible recipient gives Human Resources permission to disclose the employee’s name at the time of the donation request. For the purpose of this Agreement, the hardship leave donations will be administered under the following stipulations:
(a) The recipient and the donor must be regular employees of the City. The parties agree that management employees may donate to the leave bank or a specific employee on a voluntary basis; the same will be true in reverse.
(b) The City shall not assume any tax liabilities that would otherwise accrue to the employee.
(c) Requests to receive hardship leave must be accompanied by medical documentation (or have a FMLA/OFLA certification on file) verifying eligibility of an employee's and/or family member’s serious health condition that will leave the employee off work for at least a month. • For health conditions requiring intermittent leave, a doctor’s note anticipating a need of at least one (1) month of leave over a twelve (12)-month period for the serious health condition would also qualify; however, donated leave must still be taken in blocks of forty
