Common use of Shared Leave Donation Clause in Contracts

Shared Leave Donation. A qualifying employee may donate vacation leave, sick leave, or personal holiday to another employee if the receiving employee meets the qualifications of Article 20.2 above. An employee with an accrued vacation leave balance of more than eighty (80) hours may donate any amount of vacation leave, provided the donation does not cause the employee's vacation leave balance to fall below eighty (80) hours after the transfer. For part-time employees, requirements for vacation leave balances will be prorated. Employees may donate excess vacation leave that the donor would not be able to take due to an approaching anniversary date. The donating employee may donate any specified amount of sick leave, provided the donation does not cause the employee's sick leave balance to fall below one hundred seventy-six (176) hours after the transfer. For purposes of sick leave donation, a day equals the donor's monthly sick leave accrual. The donating employee may donate all or part of a personal holiday. Any portion of a personal holiday that is not used will be returned to the donating employee. All donated leave must be given voluntarily. No employee will be coerced, threatened, intimidated, or financially induced into donating leave for purposes of this program.
