City of Greensboro Personnel Policy Manuał

Donated Leave Number: F-5 Revision: 5 Effective Date: 6-01-13 1.0 POLICY

T he City of Greensboro permits employees to assist fellow employees by allowing them to donate a portion of their earned annual leave balance in cases of serious illness or injury. 2.0 PURPOSE T he City of Greensboro recognizes that circumstances may occur where an employee, through no fault of his own, has an inadequate amount of sick leave to cover absences due to his own illness or injury or that of an immediate family member. This situation would typically occur with newer employees who have not worked for the City long enough to accrue a sufficient leave balance or with a longer term employee who has an extended illness but is expected to recover and return to work. The City understands that employees may want to support fellow employees in these situations and this policy arranges for them to do so through the provision of donated leave. 3.0 SCOPE This policy covers all City benefit eligible employees. 4.0 DEFINITIONS 4.1 Donated Leave - Donated leave is earned annual leave of an employee that he chooses to donate to another employee to provide paid leave for personal or family illness or injury. 4.2 Benefit Eligible - Full time and part time employees who are eligible for coverage and participation in the City’s benefit programs in addition to legally mandated coverage.
