Crisis Leave Pool and Donations
Mon, 08/22/2016 - 3:29pmCrisis Leave Policy
The University has established a Crisis Leave Pool program to provide an opportunity for eligible employees to assist fellow employees who are unable to work because of a crisis situation and who need paid leave to cover their absences.
The purpose of the Crisis Leave Pool policy is to create and administer a pool of annual leave that may be used by eligible employees who are unable to work due to their own serious health condition or the serious health condition of an eligible family member.
Contributions to the Crisis Leave Pool are strictly voluntary. No employee shall be coerced or pressured to make contributions to the Crisis Leave Pool. Employees donating to the pool may not designate a particular employee to receive donated leave. Donations are accumulated in the pool and are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis to eligible employees.
Donations may be made at any time during the Crisis Leave Policy Year, but are limited to the following terms:
1. Only full-time employees who are eligible to earn annual leave in accordance with University policy and procedure and classified employees with permanent status may donate leave.
2. An eligible employee may donate a minimum of 4 hours of annual leave and a maximum of 240 hours of annual leave per calendar year (you may not donate sick or compensatory leave). The donor must have a minimum balance of at least (80) hours of annual leave remaining after the donation.
3. A leave donation is irrevocable and will not be restored or returned to the donor once the leave has been transferred to the pool. The pool will be administered as leave hours donated and used.
The Crisis Annual Leave policy, procedures and forms, can be found on the Human Resources website: http://personnel.louisiana.edu/ or the University’s policy website at http://policies.louisiana.edu/node/168
Please consider a donation to a leave pool in order to assist co-workers who may have a need.
