• Sick Leave Donations

    Company Information

    Per policy, accrued sick leave may be voluntarily donated to another employee in the District providing all of the following conditions are met:

    • Employees may only donate to employees within their same job classification (Certified, Certified Professional, Classified, Classified Professional, Administrative, etc).
    • The recipient, or an immediate family member that the employee must care for, has a non-job related, serious and extended* illness or injury and is on an unpaid leave of absence. If FMLA paperwork is not completed, an employee is not eligible for donated sick leave. 
    • The recipient of the donated leave has exhausted all available paid leave time (sick, vacation, personal, etc.)
    • The donor employees must have eleven (11) or more days of sick leave accumulated
    • Only one (1) day of sick leave may be donated per pay period.
    • Once an employee returns to work, even if part-time, they are not eligible for donated sick leave from the return date forward. 

    For an employee to be eligible for donated sick leave, the employee must complete and have notarized the Sick Leave Transfer Request and provide medical substantiation. The recipient must have a non-job related, seriously incapacitating, and extended* illness or injury, or a member of the recipient’s immediate family has a seriously incapacitating and extended illness or injury that requires the presence of the recipient. The employee must have exhausted all existing sick leave, personal leave, and vacation leave. Please refer to policy G-7350.1 or G-3100.1 for additional information. If you wish to donate days to someone, complete the Intent to Donate Form and send to Payroll. Below is a list of employees requesting donated sick leave. All donations are anonymous.

    *Extended absences are considered to be those lasting longer than 10 consecutive working days. Intermittent leave or absences lasting less than 10 working days are not generally eligible for donated sick time.
