Your PMA will also request periodic medical documentation to support the continued medical emergency, and information regarding the conditions under which the personal emergency or hardship will terminate. To be eligible to receive leave donations in the case of a personal medical emergency, you must have a zero annual leave and sick leave balance. In addition, the medical emergency must be expected to require at least an additional 24 hours of donated leave. It is advisable to notify your supervisor and complete an application to be a leave recipient before you are in danger of entering a non-pay status. Any federal employee may donate annual leave to another federal employee.
Regulations prohibit employees from donating annual leave to their supervisors.
Any unused donated annual leave will be restored back to the leave donors by the payroll office. This leave is placed in separate accounts for use after the donated leave is exhausted or the emergency ends. You may use any annual or sick leave accrued while in a shared leave status if the medical emergency continues after you have exhausted the donated leave. For more detailed information or if you have additional questions concerning the Voluntary Leave Transfer Program, you may contact your servicing Personnel Management Advisor.
