IUPA Sick Leave Donation. At the Sheriff’s discretion, bargaining unit members may request sick leave donations to be provided solely by bargaining unit members within the IUPA, in addition to the current BSO sick leave pool and/or donated leave program.
a. All requests for sick leave donations must be limited to extenuating or catastrophic circumstances and forwarded to the Sheriff for approval prior to receiving donated sick leave. The requesting member must have applied for the BSO donated leave program and have received denial or the maximum benefit payable prior to requesting additional sick leave donations from the IUPA Sick Leave Donation Program.
b. The maximum number of donated sick hours a bargaining unit member may receive and utilize is three hundred and twenty (320) hours per calendar year.
c. The maximum number of hours a bargaining member may donate is eight (8) hours per calendar year and must be donated in four (4) hour increments. The hours donated to a receiving bargaining unit member will only be deducted from the donating employee’s bank on an as needed basis in the order of receipt from the donated member. No hours will be allowed to be pooled for use on a future date or occurrence.
d. Donating members must have a minimum of 500 hours of sick leave accruals to be eligible to donate.
