A. Employees shall be allowed to donate personal leave and receive personal leave from borough employees subject to the following conditions:

1. An employee wishing to donate personal leave shall fill out, date, and sign a leave request showing the hours of personal leave the employee wishes to donate in increments subject to a minimum of four hours and the name of the recipient.

2. The borough shall convert the donated leave hours to dollars at the regular (annualized) hourly rate of the donor. The dollars shall be converted to hours of leave at the regular (annualized) hourly rate of the recipient, and the resulting number of hours shall be added to the recipient’s donated leave account for use in accordance with the requirements in subsection (A)(5) of this section. The total amount of leave credited to the recipient’s donated leave account shall not exceed 300 hours.

3. After the donation has been transferred to the recipient’s account, the donation cannot be withdrawn, modified or otherwise returned to the donor’s account.

4. Donations of leave under this section shall not reduce the mandatory leave usage requirements.

5. Donated leave may not be used unless and until all accrued personal leave has been exhausted. Upon termination, any balance in the donated leave account shall be canceled without pay. Upon the death of an employee, the balance of the donated leave account will be paid to the employee’s beneficiaries at the employee’s regular hourly rate. Leave may be donated to other borough regular employees only for catastrophic events, unforeseen emergencies/circumstances or illnesses. Donating personal leave for payment of services or purchases or in lieu of cash transactions is expressly prohibited.

B. Accounting of donated personal leave shall be expended within the budget allocation of the department of the donor employee.

C. An employee shall not accrue personal leave while on donated leave.

D. The borough shall provide health insurance to an employee on donated personal leave as would otherwise be provided. (Ord. 15-07-417 § 7. Formerly 2.86.090)
