Catastrophic leave pay shall consist of the amount of sick leave credit, vacation time, or compensatory time off credits that are donated to the affected employee by other employees.
1. Donations of sick leave credit shall be made in blocks that are equivalent to one day of leave for the donating employee.

2. Donations of vacation time or compensatory time off credits shall be made in blocks of not less than two hours per donating employee.
B. For the purpose of calculating credits for an employee who receives catastrophic pay, the following shall apply:
1. If the employee who donates eligible time credits is at a different salary rate than the employee who receives the credits, the formula to be used shall be: Donating employee's hourly rate multiplied by number of hours donated equals $X; $X divided by receiving employee's hourly rate equals the number of catastrophic leave hours available to receiving employee. Example: Donating employee - Secretary (rate $9.00 per hour) donates eight hours: $9.00 x 8 = $72.00; Receiving employee - Clerk (rate $7.00 per hour) will be entitled to: $72.00 $7.00 = 10.29 hours of catastrophic leave credits.
2. If the employee or employees who donate eligible time credits are at the same salary rate as the employee who receives the credits, the receiving employee shall be credited with the number of hours donated.
3. The receipt of donated time credits under this program shall not serve to extend or modify the terms or limitations of ARTICLE 13, LEAVES OF ABSENCE, paragraph 13.4.4 of this Agreement. However, at the written request of the employee, donated time credits shall be coordinated with differential pay during a period when the employee is on extended sick leave in order to mitigate the impact of the deduction of the substitute’s pay from the employee’s regular pay.
