EXHIBIT 4 -VOLUNTARY CATASTROPHIC LEAVE DONATION
Guidelines
1, Purpose
The purpose of the voluntary catastrophic leave donation program is to bridge employees
who have been approved leave time to either return to work, long-term disability, or medical
retirement. Permanent employees who accrue vacation, general leave or compensatory
time may donate such leave to another permanent employee when a catastrophic illness or
injury befalls that employee or because the employee is needed to care for a seriously ill
family member. The leave-sharing Leave Donation Program is Citywide across all
departments and is intended to provide an additional benefit. Nothing in this program is
intended to change current policy and practice for use and/or accrual of vacation, general,
or sick leave.
2. Definitions
Catastrophic Illness or Injury -A serious debilitating illness or injury, which incapacitates the
employee or an employee's family member.
Family Member - For the purposes of this policy, the definition of family member is that
defined in the Family Medical Leave Act (child, parent, spouse or domestic partner).
1 Eligible Leave
Accrued compensatory, vacation or general leave hours may be donated. The minimum
donation an employee may make is two (2) hours and the maximum is forty (40) hours.
4. Eligibility
Permanent employees who accrue vacation or general leave may donate such hours to
eligible recipients. Compensatory time accrued may also be donated. An eligible recipient
is an employee who:
• Accrues vacation or general leave;
• Is not receiving disability benefits or Workers' Compensation payments; and
• Requests donated leave.
5. Transfer of Leave
The maximum donation credited to a recipient's leave account shall be the amount
necessary to ensure continuation of the employee's regular salary during the employee's
period of approved catastrophic leave. Donations will be voluntary, confidential and
irrevocable. Hours donated will be converted into a dollar amount based on the hourly
wage of the donor. The dollar amount will then be converted into accrued hours based on
the recipient's hourly wage.
An employee needing leave will complete a Leave Donation Request Form and submit it to
the Department Director for approval. The Department Director will forward the form to
Human Resources for processing. Human Resources, working with the department, will
send out the request for leave donations.
Exhibit'A'to Non-Associated Resolution No.2016-50 HB -679- Item 25. - 28
NON-ASSOCIATED EMPLOYEES PAY AND BENEFITS RESOLUTION
Employees wanting to make donations will submit a Leave Donation Form to the Finance
Department (payroll).
All donation forms submitted to payroll will be date stamped and used in order received for
each bi-weekly pay period. Multiple donations will be rotated in order to insure even use of
time from donors. Any donation form submitted that is not needed will be returned to the
donor.
