- Sick Leave
- may be donated to an employee who has been approved to receive donated leave because they are terminally ill or suffering from a life-threatening illness or injury which prevents him/her from working for at least 90 consecutive days.
- To donate sick leave, the donating employee must have seven continuous years of service and a sick leave balance of 120 hours.
- Since employees are not entitled to payment of non-vested leave, employees with a sick leave balance in excess of 1,920 hours will have their sick leave balance reduced to 1,920 hours before they are able to donate sick leave.
- For every four hours of sick leave donated, the recipient receives one hour of sick leave.
- Sick leave may not be donated to an employee who has been approved to receive donated leave because they are caring for their spouse, child or parent who is terminally ill or suffering from an acutely life-threatening illness.
- Annual Leave:
- May be donated to an employee who has been approved to receive donated leave because they are terminally ill or suffering from a life-threatening illness or injury which prevents him/her from working for at least 90 consecutive days.
- Annual leave may be donated to an employee who has been approved to receive donated leave because they are caring for a spouse, child or parent who is terminally ill or suffering from an acutely life-threatening illness or injury.
- To donate annual leave, you must have an accumulated annual leave balance of 80 hours.
- For every one hour of annual leave donated, the recipient receives one hour of annual leave.
Note: Donated leave will not be deducted from the donating employee’s leave balance until the recipient uses the donated leave. If a recipient receives a donation of leave from more than one donor, the leave shall be distributed in the order received.
