Article 4.2 - Catastrophic Leave Donation Program
Section 42930 - Purpose

An employee who accrues vacation or sick leave credits may voluntarily donate either of those credits to another employee on the same campus, or, for employees in the Office of the Chancellor, to another employee in the Office of the Chancellor, for catastrophic leave for catastrophic illness or injury. An employee who accrues vacation or sick leave credits may voluntarily donate either of those credits to another employee within the California State University system to be used for catastrophic leave in the event of a natural disaster/state of emergency. To qualify for catastrophic leave for catastrophic illness or injury, the recipient employee shall have exhausted all accrued leave credits due to catastrophic illness or injury as defined in this Article. "Accrued leave credits" include credits for sick leave, vacation, personal holiday and compensating time off. To qualify for catastrophic leave for a natural disaster/state of emergency, the recipient employee whose principal residence has been affected by a declared natural disaster/state of emergency, as defined in Section 42931, shall have exhausted all accrued personal holiday credits and compensating time off, and have a balance of forty (40) hours or less in each accrued vacation credits and accrued sick leave credits.

The president of each campus, subject to the approval of the Chancellor, has the authority to make exceptions to the prescribed policy for the purpose of responding to other catastrophic occurrences of comparable impact and/or to expand the benefits of the prescribed policy when compelling and unusual circumstances exist.
