VACATION LEAVE DONATION PROGRAM Sample Clauses

The Vacation Leave Donation Program clause establishes a system that allows employees to voluntarily transfer their accrued vacation leave to coworkers who may need additional time off, typically due to personal or family emergencies. Under this program, employees can donate unused vacation hours, subject to certain eligibility requirements and approval processes, to a designated leave pool or directly to specific individuals. This clause facilitates mutual support among employees and helps address situations where someone has exhausted their own leave, thereby providing a safety net for unforeseen circumstances.

VACATION LEAVE DONATION PROGRAM. Employees with more than 12 months of service who are incapacitated and unable to work due to a prolonged catastrophic illness or injury affecting the employee or his/her immediate family and who have exhausted all accrued leave are eligible to request a donation of vacation leave time from other employees through the District Leave Donation Program. Requests for such leave shall be made in writing to Human Resources as soon as it becomes apparent that the employee will be unable to return to work prior to all accrued leave balances ending. Participation in this plan shall be voluntary by all parties. There is no guarantee that the amount of donated time shall be sufficient to cover the maximum term allowed. It is important to note that this program does not establish a separate category of leave; it provides a method to ensure that an employee facing catastrophic illness or injury affecting the employee or his/her immediate family receives pay while on leave after the other avenues of paid time are exhausted. For detailed information on the administration of this program see Board Policy 0065 which is located on the District Intranet under the Human Resources tab.

Employees who wish to donate hours to the Vacation Leave Donation Bank need to contact Human Resources to determine eligibility and procedures for donation. The maximum amount of Vacation leave that an employee may donate per request is 15% of her/his accrued balance at the time the donation request is made, not to exceed 40 hours total per calendar year.

  • Leave Donation Program Employees may donate paid leave to a fellow employee who is otherwise eligible to accrue and use sick leave and is employed by the same Agency. The intent of the leave donation program is to allow employees to voluntarily provide assistance to their co-workers who are in critical need of leave due to the serious illness or injury of the employee or a member of the employee's immediate family. The definition of immediate family as provided in rule 123:1-47-01 of the Administrative Code shall apply for the leave donation program. A. An employee may receive donated leave, up to the number of hours the employee is scheduled to work each pay period, if the employee who is to receive donated leave: 1. Or a member of the employee's immediate family has a serious illness or injury; 2. Has no accrued leave or has not been approved to receive other state-paid benefits; and 3. Has applied for any paid leave, workers' compensation, or benefits program for which the employee is eligible. Employees who have applied for these programs may use donated leave to satisfy the waiting period for such benefits where applicable, and donated leave may be used following a waiting period, if one exists, in an amount equal to the benefit provided by the program, i.e. fifty six hours (56) pay period may be utilized by an employee who has satisfied the disability waiting period and is pending approval, this is equal to the seventy percent (70%) benefit provided by disability. B. Employees may donate leave if the donating employee: 1. Voluntarily elects to donate leave and does so with the understanding that donated leave will not be returned; 2. Donates a minimum of eight hours; and 3. Retains a combined leave balance of at least eighty hours. Leave shall be donated in the same manner in which it would otherwise be used except that compensatory time is not eligible for donation. C. The leave donation program shall be administered on a pay period by pay period basis. Employees using donated leave shall be considered in active pay status and shall accrue leave and be entitled to any benefits to which they would otherwise be entitled. Leave accrued by an employee while using donated leave shall be used, if necessary, in the following pay period before additional donated leave may be received. Donated leave shall not count toward the probationary period of an employee who receives donated leave during his or her probationary period. Donated leave shall be considered sick leave, but shall never be converted into a cash benefit. D. Employees who wish to donate leave shall certify: 1. The name of the employee for whom the donated leave is intended; 2. The type of leave and number of hours to be donated; 3. That the employee will have a minimum combined leave balance of at least eighty hours; and 4. That the leave is donated voluntarily and the employee understands that the donated leave will not be returned. E. Appointing authorities shall ensure that no employees are forced to donate leave. Appointing authorities shall respect an employee's right to privacy, however appointing authorities may, with the permission of the employee who is in need of leave or a member of the employee's immediate family, inform employees of their co-worker's critical need for leave. Appointing authorities shall not directly solicit leave donations from employees. The donation of leave shall occur on a strictly voluntary basis.
