Employees may donate both accrued Vacation Leave <br />and unused Employee Discretionary Days, but are not eligible to donate time or credit from any other source. <br /> <br />This Policy is not intended to cover an employee who is experiencing a normal pregnancy, has a common illness, has an illness <br />or injury covered by an employer-paid long-tenn disability policy or worker's compensation, or has incurred injury during the <br />course of committing a crime. Similarly, this policy is not intended to provide leave to any employee who has previously abused <br />any paid leave. <br /> <br />Since the Workshop presentation the definitions of Abused Paid Leave and Common Illness were added per <br />Council request. <br /> <br />Action Required bv Council: <br /> <br />Approve an Ordinance authorizing the Vacation Leave Donation Program. <br /> <br /> <br />f~7 <br />
