Major Disaster Leave Bank Program

During the COVID-19 pandemic emergency, the University  established a Leave Bank Program in recognition that staff may experience a major disaster that necessitates additional paid time off in excess of the staff member’s available paid leave. The University retains the right to modify or discontinue this Leave Bank Program at any time.

Under the Leave Bank Program, eligible appointed staff may donate accrued vacation leave or paid time off (“PTO”) from their unused accrued balance to the Leave Bank value, and eligible appointed staff may request administrative paid leave from the Leave Bank. Participation in the Leave Bank Program is strictly voluntary for both donors and recipients.

For more information regarding the eligibility criteria and process for donating and requesting leave, please review the Major Disaster Leave Bank Program Policy.
