Common use of Transfer of Sick Leave for Catastrophic Illness Clause in Contracts

Transfer of Sick Leave for Catastrophic Illness. Transfer of sick leave for catastrophic illness is designed to assist officers who have exhausted sick leave due to a catastrophic illness, injury or condition of the worker. This policy allows other workers to make voluntary grants of time to that worker so that he/she can remain in a paid status for a longer period of time, thus partially ameliorating the financial impact of the illness, injury or condition. A catastrophic illness is defined as an illness which has been diagnosed by a competent physician, requiring an extended period of treatment or recuperation, and which has a significant risk to life or life expectancy. Confirmation of the condition and prognosis by a health care provider chosen by the City may be required. The Personnel Division will discuss with the POA or their designated representative an appropriate method of soliciting contributions from coworkers. The contributions shall be submitted to the Personnel Division and Personnel will process the contribution list in the order established. Any officer shall be allowed to contribute a maximum of eighty (80) hours of sick leave from their accrued sick leave balance to another full-time or permanent part-time worker in the City who is suffering from a catastrophic illness and has exhausted his or her own sick leave, provided, however, they have maintained a positive sick leave balance of forty (40) hours or more following the donation. Once the contribution is made it cannot be rescinded. Upon return to work, an officer may bank any remaining hours that have been contributed up to a maximum of forty (40) hours. If the contribution list has not been exhausted, the contributing workers will be notified that their contribution was not required and the balance restored.
