Employees who are dealing with a severe or life-threatening may be eligible for vacation donation from other employees; however there are some guidelines to follow. First, HR Connection and Employee and Labor Relations are involved to determine eligibility. An employee must use all of their vacation and sick time to be eligible to receive and use vacation donation. An employee cannot, under any circumstances, solicit for vacation donations. If someone reaches out saying they would like to donate vacation time to another employee, the HR Connection is then contacted. Information from the Paid Leave Policy is posted online:
