Title

Committee action authorizing a pilot project that allows Human Resources to process pay requests for donated sick time, in compliance with guidelines, for employees of the 19^th Judicial Circuit.

Staff Summary

•                     The 19^th Judicial Circuit Court recognizes that eligible employees, or their family members, with legitimate medical conditions, may deplete their paid time off accrual banks. 

•                     The Courts established a sick leave donation policy that allows employees to donate vacation time to a bank for affected employees’ use. 

•                     In order to use the bank, an employee must exhaust personal paid time off banks, have a serious medical condition, and have donated vacation time.

•                     A sick leave committee will be established to review and consider the circumstance of any employee who has submitted an application seeking donated time.
