Donated Time. All members of the bargaining unit shall be eligible for donated time benefits, subject to the terms of this Article, to relieve hardship resulting from extended illness or injury. A. When the Employer is made aware of an employee’s need for leave donations, a notice will be posted informing employees of a particular employee’s need for assistance. Any donations made pursuant to this Article must be voluntary. B. Employees will be eligible to receive leave donations if: 1. They have been placed on an approved medical leave of absence; 2. The leave is expected to last at least thirty (30) days; and 3. The employee does not have sufficient accrued vacation and sick leave to prevent the loss of a significant amount of income. C. An employee may donate up to eighty (80) hours of compensatory time, vacation, or sick leave to a specific recipient by signing and submitting to the Employer a Leave Donation Form, donating such time. D. A recipient may use donated leave only after having exhausted the employees own accrued vacation, compensatory time, and sick leave. Donated leave will be used in place of the employee’s regularly scheduled work days to the extent necessary. If a recipient does not use all donated leave during the leave of absence, the unused donations will be returned to all donors on a prorata basis.
