Catastrophic Leave. 16.N.1. Definition: Catastrophic illness or injury means an illness or injury that is expected to incapacitate the unit member or anyone of the following individuals: unit member’s parents, spouse/domestic partner, children or other member of the immediate household. Catastrophic illness requires the employee to take time off from work for an extended period of time to care for that family member, and taking extended time off work creates a financial hardship for the employee because he/she has exhausted all of his/her sick leave or other paid time off.
Catastrophic Leave. The Association and the Office establish catastrophic leave with the following provisions:
Catastrophic Leave. Upon request of an employee and upon approval of a department director or designee, annual leave, CTO, MODTO, vacation, and/or holiday leave credits may be transferred from one or more employees to another employee, in accordance with departmental policies and under certain conditions listed below. Sick leave credits cannot be transferred under this provision.
Catastrophic Leave. When an eligible employee suffers a catastrophic illness or injury, and the eligible employee has exhausted all accrued leaves as a result of the illness/injury, then the eligible employee may file a request for donations of leave with the Association. The request must be accompanied by: • A medical statement from the attending physician explaining the nature of the illness/injury and an estimated amount of time the employee will be unable to work. • Evidence of the Bureau Commander’s approval of leave of absence. The Executive Board of Directors for the Association will establish eligibility standards and will review the request to verify the employee’s eligibility to receive leave donations. The Association will conduct the solicitation of donations and will be limited to an information-only solicitation, with no personal lobbying by employees. Solicitations will be conducted for 30 calendar days and all donations will be submitted to the Association on the provided form. Donations can be made from the donor’s bonus hours, vacation leave, and/or professional leave. Sick leave cannot be donated. The minimum donation is four (4) hours. Employees must have a vacation leave balance of at least 40 hours after the donation. The Association will forward donations to the Department Payroll Section, where the donated time will be converted to dollars at the hourly rate of the donor. The dollars will then be converted to sick leave at the hourly rate of the recipient. If any donated sick leave hours remain at the end of the catastrophic leave, they will be transferred to the Catastrophic General Fund Account (bank). Bank hours, if any, may be approved by the Association Executive Board on a matching basis, if needed (e.g., a solicitation for an approved employee nets 100 hours - after the 100 hours are used, the Association Executive Board may approve up to another 100 hours from the bank, if hours are available). However, employees will be eligible to utilize up to 160 hours of bank time prior to applying the matching standards set out herein. From the date of ratification of this agreement forward, an employee may use no more than a total of 160 hours of bank time throughout the course of his or her career. Eligible employees: • The Catastrophic Leave Program is available to all collective bargaining unit employees who require a minimum of 80 hours leave after all accrued leaves have been exhausted.
