Common use of Hardship Donations Clause in Contracts

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.
