DONATED LEAVE PROGRAM

The Donated Leave Program is designed to aid employees suffering from any illness or injury to the employee or to a member of an employee's family which is diagnosed and certified by the physician as rendering the employee or the member, of the employee's family unable to work; or in the case of family member who does not work, the medical equivalent of "unable to work" for a period of greater than 5 calendar weeks by enabling them to draw upon sick and annual leave donated by other employees.

An employee may donate up to one half their yearly accrual of sick leave per year without having to match with annual leave. An employee may also donate additional amounts of sick leave in excess of one half their yearly sick leave accrual per year, however, such donations must be matched on a ratio of two hours sick leave per one hour annual leave.
