Who?
The current list of employees approved to receive donations is listed on the Human Resources intranet site.

What?
Eligible employee(s) may donate sick leave hours as follows:
1) Employees may donate sick leave in full day increments (seven, seven and one-half or eight hour increments) up to a maximum of forty hours per calendar year.
2) Donating employees must maintain a sick leave balance of no less than 30 days, after donation of sick leave.

When?
Donated sick leave hours must be used by the recipient within 60 calendar days of the date of donation or they will be returned to the donor. Donated sick leave will be granted to the recipient on a first in, first out basis.

Where?

Why?
Please note: All donations are strictly voluntary. Each donation is designated for a specific employee recipient and not put into a general pool.

How?
If you are an eligible employee who wishes to donate sick leave to an approved individual, complete a Shared Sick Leave Donor Form and return it to the Human Resources Department by the deadline indicated for that employee.
