Leave Donation

Program Guidelines

The intent of this program is to provide a means to assist employees who, because of long term illness, have exhausted their leave benefits and would otherwise be subject to a loss of income during a continuing absence from work.

Eligibility to Donate

In order to donate vacation credits, an employee must meet all the following eligibility criteria:

  • Must be employed in the same agency or department as the employee to whom donations are made, though not necessarily at the same facility or location, OR be a family member of an eligible recipient employed in a different agency than the donor.
  • Must have a minimum vacation balance of at least 10 days after making the donation.

Donations must be made in full day (7.5 or 8 hour) units. The identity of donors may not be disclosed by college management. Employees may not donate vacation credits which would otherwise have been forfeited. Note: Donated leave is taken from the donor's balance at the time it is needed by the recipient, not necessarily at the time of the donation.
