Eligibility to Donate

In order to donate vacation credits, an employee must meet all the following eligibility criteria:

• Must be employed in the same agency or department as the employee to whom donations are made, though not necessarily at the same facility or location, OR be a family member of an eligible recipient employed in a different agency than the donor
• Must have a minimum vacation balance of at least 10 days after making the donation

Donations must be made in full day (7.5 or 8-hour) units.

Agency management may not disclose the identity of donors. Employees may not donate vacation credits that would otherwise have been forfeited. Note: donated leave is taken from the donor’s balance at the time it is needed by the recipient, not necessarily at the time of the donation.
