ARTICLE 19: LEAVE DONATION 19.1
A.
In the event an employee is forced, after exhausting all terminal leave, holidays and personal leave, to be placed on leave without pay status, due to illness or off-duty injury, another employee may donate a holiday or personal leave day to the ill or injured employee provided said donor has at least eighty (80) hours of personal leave accrued. In the event an illness is reclassified as a workers' comp injury, all such used and unused time will be returned to the original donor(s). To properly administer this plan, the donating employee will report to JSO Personnel and submit his/her days which will be dated for use in lieu of leave without pay days or until such time as the employee receiving such time returns to duty.
B.
Exception to Section 19.1A: No employee who was given the option to use accrued leave for the purpose of satisfying a disciplinary action requiring reduction of pay and who as a result of exercising that option is left without accrued leave may receive a donation of such leave time for the purpose of replenishing accrued personal leave lost for disciplinary reasons until the employee either has accrued leave equivalent to the amount of disciplinary reduction, or has been off work without pay for a period equal to the duration of the disciplinary penalty. Provided that this subsection shall only apply in those cases where a single incident gives rise to both the disciplinary reduction and the injury that resulted in the exhaustion of accrued leave.
