Organ Donor Leave Procedure - 63.08.17
College Policy Number/Title:
The College will provide all eligible employees with unpaid leave for up to sixty (60) business days in a twelve (12) month period to serve as an organ donor and up to thirty (30) days in any twelve (12) month period to serve as a bone marrow donor. An “eligible employee” is one who, as of the date that the requested donor leave begins, will have been employed by the College for at least 12 months, and has worked at least 1,250 hours during the previous 12 months.
An employee requesting such leave must provide medical certification demonstrating that the employee is a donor and that there is a medical necessity for the donation. Cortication must be submitted to the office of human resources at least fourteen (14) business days prior to the start of the leave.
Organ donation leave may not be taken concurrently with any leave taken under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Employees may, with the approval of the office of human resources, use any available paid time off as necessary, up to a maximum of forty (40) hours. Such leave will run concurrently with the organ donor leave.
Like employees who take FMLA leave, an employee organ donor is entitled to be restored to their previous position, or a position with equivalent pay and benefits, upon conclusion of the leave. Employees will be entitled to continued coverage under any group health plan while on leave.
