LEAVE DONATION BANK. The Leave Donation Bank (LDB) shall be administered jointly by NEROP and the NEROP Staff Union. Any employee who resigns or whose employment is terminated will have up to ten (10) days of their accrued sick leave transferred to the LDB. When an employee has exhausted his or her leave days and needs more days to cover a personal illness or injury, or the illness or injury of an immediate family member, he or she - or a designated representative - will make a request to both the Chief Xxxxxxx and designated management representative. There is no limit to the number of days the employee may request. The decision to grant LDB access will be made by a committee consisting of two (2) Guild members and one (1) designated management representative. Upon approval, the Xxxxxxx Council will issue a request for contributions to the membership. Each employee shall have the option of participating in the LDB, including probationary employees. Employees may donate as many leave days as they have accrued. A leave day is defined as a sick day, a vacation day, a religious holiday, a compensatory day, or a personal day. Pledged leave days will be formally transferred to recipient employees only at the end of a pay period. This will ensure that any unused leave days are never actually transferred until they can in fact be used by the recipient employee. In the event that employees drawing from the LDB are unable to use all days donated by bargaining unit members in a six-month period, those remaining days will be divided by the number of contributors and returned to them. The Union will meet with management to evaluate the implementation of the above paragraph one (1) year from the ratification of this agreement.
