Common use of Voluntary Leave Transfer Program Clause in Contracts

Voluntary Leave Transfer Program. 1. No later than thirty (30) days after approval of this Agreement by DCPAS, the Agency shall establish procedures to allow for the accrued annual leave of one or more employees to be transferred for use by another employee within the Agency who needs such leave due to a serious medical condition. Leave donated must be accrued and available at the time of donation. Employees may not donate leave to an immediate supervisor. Interagency leave transfer (i.e., between two employees working for different Federal agencies) is permitted if both the recipient and donor are family members. 2. A serious medical condition as used herein pertains to either an employee or the care of a family member that will require an employee’s absence from duty for a prolonged period of time resulting in a substantial loss of income to the employee due to the unavailability of paid leave. 3. The maximum amount of annual leave that may be donated during the leave year shall be the lesser of: a. One-half of the amount of annual leave the donor would be entitled to accrue during the leave year in which the donation is made; or, b. The number of hours remaining in the leave year (as of the date of the transfer) for which the leave donor is scheduled to work and receive pay. Note: These limitations may be waived according to the Agency's established written criteria. The waivers shall be documented in writing. 4. Donated leave may only be used by the intended recipient and may not be used for any purpose other than prolonged absences caused by a verified serious medical condition. 5. Upon termination of the serious medical condition, the unused donated leave shall be transferred pro rata back to each donor who may then elect to: a. Credit the unused donated annual leave to their annual leave account in either the current leave year or as of the first day of the first leave year beginning after the date of election; or b. Donating unused donated leave in whole or part to another leave recipient.
