Employees have the opportunity to assist another employee who is facing a personal serious illness or injury, or caring for an immediate family member who has a serious illness or injury. This policy allows multiple employees to donate a combined maximum of 26 weeks of accrued vacation and personal leave to an employee when the receiving employee needs time off that is not otherwise covered by any existing time off benefits. Persons wishing to donate time to another employee should contact the Library Director for guidelines and forms.
