Utilities will reduce the employee's pay by the amount the employee is paid to serve as an election judge. 66. PAID LEAVE DONATION With the written consent of the Utilities' General Manager, employees wishing to do so may voluntarily donate accrued paid leave time that is presently available for use by the donor employee to a co-worker who is experiencing a major or catastrophic life event in the form of a medical emergency, loss of a family member, or other extraordinary circumstance (subject to management approval) necessitating time off from work for which the receiving employee has insufficient paid time off available. Examples of such a life event include, but are not limited to, a heart attack, stroke, organ transplant, or other medical condition of the employee or a family member for whose care the employee bears substantial responsibility. An employee will be eligible to receive and use donated paid leave only if the following conditions are satisfied: 1. The receiving employee must submit a request for paid leave donation in the form prescribed by the Utilities. 2. The receiving employee's request for leave must be based on medical need to be absent from the workplace that is supported by documentation from a health care provider. There is a reasonable expectation based on a treating provider's documentation that the receiving employee will return to work within a reasonable time following any leave of absence unless the employee qualifies for long term disability insurance benefits. 4. The receiving employee is currently eligible to accrue sick leave and vacation under the Utilities' policies. 5. The receiving employee has exhausted all of the employee's own paid leave time including all sick, vacation, compensatory, and other paid time. 6. The sick leave taken by the receiving employee will not be subject to income replacement by disability or workers compensation insurance. The following additional conditions apply to leave donation under this policy: All donations must be made in increments of eight (8) hours subject to a limit of 16 hours per donor to a particular recipient per year. Leave donation must be in one of the following configurations: i) a total of eight hours of paid sick leave; ii) a total of eight hours of vacation; iii) a total of sixteen hours, with eight hours being vacation and eight hours being paid sick leave; iv) a total of sixteen hours, with 68 July 2024 2313900 133
