COUNTY OF H.A}U\.I~ll, NORTH CAROLINA VOLUNTARY SHARED LEA VB POLICY ADOPTED: March 21, 1994 Board of Commissioners Meeting I. purpose I There are occurrences brought about by serious and prolonged medical conditions that cause employees to exhaust all available leave and therefore be placed on leave-without-pay. It is recognized that such employees forced to go on leave-without-pay could be without income at the most critical point in their work life. It is also recognized that fellow employees may wish to voluntarily donate some of their accumulated vacation leave so as to provide assistance to fellow Harnett County employees. This policy provides an opportunity for employees to assist another affected by a medical condition that requires absence from duty for a prolonged period of time resulting in possible loss of income due to lack of accumulated leave. This policy and program will provide the opportunity for employees to help each other by establishing a leave "pool" or "bank". II. Policy In those cases of a medical condition an employee may apply for or be nominated to become a recipient of leave transferred flu...... the pool consisting of donated vacation leave from other employees. For purposes of this policy, medical condition means a documented medical condition of an employee that is likely to require the employee's absence from duty for a oeriod of 20 consecutive workdavs or mor~ and to result in a substantial loss of income to the employee due to limited leave in the employee's account. H an employee has had previous random absences for the same condition that caused excessive absences, or if the employee has had a previous, but different, prolonged medical condition within I the last year, an exception to the 20-day period may be applied for. The intent of this policy is to allow employees to assist one another in case of a crisis involving a serious or prolonged medical condition. It is not the intent of this policy to apply to incidental, normal, short-term medical conditions. The use of vacation leave on a shared basis for any purpose other than specified by this policy is prohibited. Participation in this program is limited to a maximum of 1,040 hours, either continuously or, if for the same condition on a recurring basis. An employee on worker's compensation leave who is drawir.g temporary total disability compensation may be eligible to participate in this program. Use of donated leave under the workers' compensation program would be limited to use during the required waiting period (first seven days of disability unless the disability continues for more than twenty-eight days) and for the supplemental county pay provision (the use of sick leave to receive a supplemental payment for the difference between regular salary and the payment received under Workers Compensation). III. Administration This program shall be administered by the county under the following conditions: A. Qualifying to Receive Leave (1) Applicant must have been employed in a regular employee I status for at least six months. (2) At the time of the request, the recipient's sick leave and annual leave balance must be at or near zero. . (3) By letter of application to the department head, a recipient snail apply, or be nominated by a fellow employee to participate in the program. (4) Application for participation would include name, employee number, title, department, description of the medical condition, doctor's staLcment, and estimated length of time needed to participate in the program. J:;" ..~L ,,>:- -( ':l. ;'1', f,-:. ;:;:",~""'; __ __ _ __"__m __....____,._____ __~ . .______ -.'....'" ~,. - 453 (5) The Privacy Act makes medical information confidential; therefore, prior to making the employee's status public for I purpose of receiving shared leave, the employee must sign a release to allow the status to be known. (6) The deparbnent head shall review the merits of the request and forward it to the Personnel Director with a recommendation to approve or disapprove. (7) The (-'-:ounty Manager with the assistance of the Personnel Director will make the final decision. Note: Participation in this program shall also take into account the employee's past compliance with County leave rules. Any county employee who is not satisfied with the results of the decision shall have an opportunity for an adequate and fair hearing under the Grievance Policy as set forth in Article VITI of the Harnett County PerSv.. u..el Ordinance. B. Participation Requirements (1) Any county employee in regular employee status is eligible to contribute. (2) The minimum amount to be donated is four hours. (3) An employee must have a zero balance in their sick and vacation leave accounts to become eligible to use donated leave. I (4) The maximum amount of vacation leave allowed to be donated by one individual in a calendar year, is to be no more than one-half of the amount of the individual's annual accrual rate. However, the amount donated is not to reduce the donor's vacation leave balance below 80 hours, for full- time employees, or the prorated equivalent for part-lline employees. (5) An employee may not directly or indirectly intimidate, threaten, coerce, or atkmpt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other employee for the purpose of interfering with any right which such employee may have with respect to donating, receiving, or using annual leave under this program. Such action by an employee shall be grounds for disciplinary action up to and including dismissal on the basis of personal conduct Individual leave records are confidential and only individual employees may reveal their donation or receipt of leave. The employee donating leave cannot receive remuneration or reward for leave donated. C. Donor Leave Accounting and Usage Procedures (1) The Personnel Office, with Payroll's data, sha:l establish a system of leave accountability which will acct".rately record leave donations and recipients use. Such accc.:nts shall I provide a clear and accurate record for financ~ and management audit purposes. (2) Actual transfer of donated leave will take place at the end of each month, but will be retroactive to the days of the month where there is no leave balance. This will eliminate the possibility of the recipient having unused donated leave in his or her sick leave account after the approved need has ended. 454 (3) H not enough leave is in the pool to meet all of the approved recipient's requesis, available leave will be prorated based on individual needs. Example: Emolovee A needs 20 hours of leave to receive a full months pay. Emolovee B needs 80 hours of leave to receive full pay. The pool only has 50 hours of donated leave in it at the end of the month. I Therefore, 10 hours will be donated to Emolovee A and 40 hours will be donated to Emolovee B meeting half (50%) of each employee's needs. (4) Unused donated leave will remain in the pool for future needs of employees with qualifying medical conditions. (5) Approved recipients may start receiving shared leave as of the first of the month following the month in which they go into a Leave Without Pay status. , HARNETT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS SPECIAL MEETING, MARCH 24, 1994 A public hearing on Water Plant Expansion and State Clean Water Bond I PUBLIC HEARING ON Loan was held during the Harnett County ijoard of Commissioners regular WATER PLANT EXPANSION meeting on March 21, 1994, and was continued until March 24, 1994, at AND STATE CLEAN ~.JATER th~ County Office Building, Lillington, North Carolina.
