Sick Leave Donation <br />With the written consent of the city administrator, employees may donate equal shares of <br />sick and vacation leave to fellow employees experiencing a major illness such as, but not <br />limited to, heart attack, stroke, organ transplant, or other illness all of which must be <br />supported by a physician's diagnosis, or a catastrophic accident with serious injuries <br />supported by a physician's diagnosis. <br />An employee will be eligible to receive donated leave: <br />L If the employee currently earns sick leave. <br />2. Only after all of the employee's own sick, vacation, compensatory, or other leaves <br />have been exhausted. <br />3. Only for normal work hours lost due to the illness for which the leave is donated. <br />4. Only for time not covered by disability insurance or workers compensation. <br />5. Up to a maximum of 240 hours. <br />6. If the physician's diagnosis indicates that the employee will be able to return to <br />work after rehabilitation or recovery. <br />The donated leave must be used concurrently with FMLA leave and must be used within <br />12 weeks of the date of the illness. Donated sick leave not used within 12 weeks will be <br />forfeited. If the condition of the employee receiving donated leave improves so that s/he is <br />able to return to work either in a light duty capacity, if work is available, or to his/her <br />normal work schedule, any donated leave time shall be forfeited. <br />An employee may donate up to 16 hours of equal shares of sick and vacation per recipient <br />per year made in increments of not less than eight (8) hours. The employee must complete <br />a Leave Donation Form to donate leave. All donations will remain anonymous. <br />Donated leave will be paid at the recipient's current rate of pay. Donated hours do not <br />qualify to be included as part of sick leave for the severance pay calculation. <br />This policy applies on a prorated basis for part-time employees eligible for sick leave. <br />Holidays <br />The city observes the following holidays <br />• New Year's Day • Veterans Day <br />• Martin Luther King's • Thai~lcsgiving Day <br />Birthday • Friday after Thai~l{sgiving <br />• Presidents Day • Christmas Eve <br />• Memorial Day • Christmas Day <br />• Independence Day <br />• Labor Day <br />Regular, full-time employees are eligible to receive pay for these holidays. <br />13 <br />
