Leave Donation Program

STATE EMPLOYEES

UUP, MC, CSEA, PEF, NYSCOPBA, and PBANYS Employees

The intent of the Leave Donation Program is to provide a means to assist employees who, because of a long term personal illness, have exhausted their leave benefits and would otherwise be subject to a severe loss of income during a continuing absence from work. The Leave Donation Program enables employees to donate Vacation leave credits to co-workers in order to keep them in pay status during a period of personal illness.
