Voluntary Sick Leave Pool. The intent of the “Voluntary Sick Leave Pool” (VSLP) is to allow St. Xxxxx County School District employees to voluntarily donate their earned hours of leave for use by another employee as specified by the donor. Employees who have been employed one (1) year, in which they have earned sick leave, will qualify to donate leave hours. This program will be in addition to the “Sick Leave Bank” outlined in the negotiated agreements, which is intended for terminal conditions. Qualifying for this program is not predicated on membership in the “Sick Leave Bank.” An employee wishing to donate sick leave hours to an individual: Must have been consecutively employed for more than one (1) year in a position which earns sick leave. Must have a minimum of 160 hours of sick leave available at the time of donation. May donate up to 24 hours per contract year. An employee who is in need of paid donated sick leave hours: Will not be allowed more than 100 days per year of approved leave. Must have been employee for one (1) full contract year. Must have been on leave without pay for at least 10 days. Must be on approved FMLA leave or Board approved medical leave of absence. Must be in a position which earns sick leave. Will not accrue sick leave days while being paid through the Voluntary Sick Leave Pool leave. Miscellaneous: Donated hours which are not used, by the receiving employee will be transferred to the “Sick Leave Bank” for use in terminal conditions of members. Employees who have been paid out (through retirement or separation from employment with the District) all sick leave, must be in unpaid status equal to the number of hours they were previously paid out, plus ten (10) additional days of unpaid leave before becoming eligible for this benefit. The donated hours may only be used by the original recipient. The Pool will be managed by the HR Department. Proper forms will be developed by the District and used for the donated hours. The donation of hours will remain anonymous, notwithstanding the Florida Sunshine Laws which may apply.
