14.16 All payments received by an employee while on IDL shall be subject to mandatory and authorized voluntary deductions. Any CSU employee who accrues vacation or sick leave credits may voluntarily donate either of those credits to any other CSU employee on the same campus, if the recipient employee has exhausted all accrued leave credits, i.e., sick leave, vacation, personal holiday and CTO, due to a catastrophic illness or injury. Catastrophic illness or injury is an illness or injury that has totally incapacitated the employee from work. The president shall then determine the employee's eligibility to receive donations based upon the definition provided above. An incapacitated employee may elect to defer a request to participate during a period of Industrial Disability Leave eligibility.
Donations are irrevocable.
The total amount of vacation credits donated and used may not exceed an amount sufficient to ensure the continuance of the employee's regular monthly rate of compensation. The total donated leave credits shall normally not exceed an amount necessary to continue the employee for three calendar months calculated from the first day of catastrophic leave. The president may approve an additional three-month period in exceptional cases. The leave should not be deemed donated until actually transferred by the campus record keeper to the record of the employee receiving leave credits. Only vacation and sick leave credits may be donated.
