Sick Leave Donation for Catastrophic Illness. The City recognizes that during times of serious illness, often times an employee’s financial integrity is at risk.

The program is outlined to allow full-time bargaining unit employees to donate leave from their sick account to other employees within the unit as outlined below:

Failure to provide notice two weeks in advance may result in denial of the leave donation, unless due to circumstances beyond the employee’s control, the appropriate notice could not be given. The Department Director may also initiate a request for sick leave donation.
(d) Payment begins on the first day following a five (5) consecutive unpaid work day elimination period.
