2 . An employee has completed six (6) months of the <br /> applicable City probationary period. <br /> 3 . The employee has depleted or will shortly deplete his <br /> or her total available paid leave. Paid leave accrual <br /> is defined as vacation leave, sick leave, accrued <br /> compensatory time or floating holidays. For purpose of <br /> this ordinance, the use of employee sick leave accrual <br /> is allowed only in the event of illness of the employee <br /> or for illness of a child as defined in the City's <br /> child care leave policy. <br /> 4 . Prior to the use of shared leave, the employee has <br /> abided by the City's sick leave policy. <br /> 5. The use of shared leave will not significantly increase <br /> the cost of any fund, except for those costs which <br /> would otherwise be incurred in the administration of <br /> this program or which would otherwise be incurred by <br /> the employee's department. <br /> C. The Department Head, with the concurrence of the Mayor <br /> or designee shall determine the amount of shared leave, if any, <br /> which a donee employee may receive under this ordinance. The <br /> donee employee shall be required to provide appropriate medical <br /> justification and documentation both of the necessity for the <br /> leave and time which the employee can reasonably be expected to <br /> be absent due to the condition. A donee employee shall not <br /> receive more than a total of six months (131 working days) of <br /> shared leave throughout the employee's employment. To the extent <br /> possible, shared leave should be used on a consecutive basis. <br /> D. Donor employees may request their Department Head to <br /> approve the transfer of specified amount of accrued vacation <br /> leave to a donee employee who is authorized to receive shared <br /> leave as provided herein. In order to be eligible to donate <br /> vacation leave, a donor employee must have a total of more than <br /> ten (10) days of accrued vacation leave, have taken at least ten <br /> (10) days of vacation leave within the calendar year or have a <br /> total of accrued and used vacation leave of greater than ten (10) <br /> days for the calendar year. In no event shall a transfer of <br /> leave be approved which would result in a donor employee reducing <br /> his or her total vacation leave in a calendar year to less than <br /> ten (10) days. The Department Head shall not transfer vacation <br /> leave in excess of the amount specified in the request. All <br /> donations of leave shall be voluntary. The Department Head shall <br /> determine that no significant increase in City costs will occur <br /> as a result of a donation of leave. <br /> 2 <br />
