Donation to and from Employees in Other Units
Employees of this Unit may participate in the voluntary donation or

receipt of accrued vacation credits with employees of other bargaining units
or those designated M/C subject to the following conditions:

Vacation credits may only be donated, received, or credited between
employees who are deemed eligible to participate in an authorized leave

donation program, provided that there are simultaneously in effect a Leave

Donation Exchange Memorandum of Agreement between the Governor's
Office of Employee Relations and the employee organizations representing
both the proposed recipient and the proposed donor, or applicable

attendance rules for managerial or confidential employees, that authorize

such donations.
The donations are governed by the provisions of the program applicable
to the donor; receipt, crediting and use of donations are governed by the

provisions of the program applicable to the recipient.

Restrictions on Donations
Only vacation credits which would not otherwise be forfeited may be

donated. Credits must be donated in full-day units (7.5 or 8 hours). There is
no limit on the number of times an eligible donor may make donations.

Donated credits not used by recipients are returned to the donor, provided
the donor is employed in the same agency as the recipient. Donated credits

from employees outside the agency will NOT be returned.
There is no maximum number of days which a recipient employee may

accept, provided, however, that donated credits cannot be used to extend
employment beyond the point it would otherwise end by operation of law,

rule or regulation. There is no maximum number of donors from whom an
eligible employee may accept donations.
