major medical condition may request participation in the Shared <br /> Leave Program. <br /> ► Request for participation in the program is based upon <br /> documentation of the need for leave by a physician and is reviewed <br /> by the Personnel Director for eligibility. <br /> ► An eligible employees receiving shared leave hours may receive a <br /> total of 80 hours during each calendar year. <br /> ► An employee donating leave may elect to donate a minimum of <br /> four hours of Vacation Leave(Sick Leave may not be donated)up <br /> to the amount which would not drop his or her leave balance below <br /> 80 hours of leave. <br /> ► An employee's donation of Vacation Leave to a participant in the <br /> Shared Leave Program is voluntary. <br /> As a result of the Employee Relations Consortium discussions about the <br /> recommended structure of this policy,the Consortium suggested that the <br /> policy be started on a relatively limited scale with participants eligible to <br /> receive a maximum of two weeks(80 hours)of leave and then the <br /> program be evaluated after a period of time to assess the participation level <br /> and the needs.This is the approach reflected in the proposed Ordinance <br /> section. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends the Board adopt the proposed new Personnel <br /> Ordinance section providing for Shared Leave effective April 1, 1996. <br /> f:\p^rs\absu=t\SHRDLV.WPD <br />
