Recommendation: Staff recommends the Mounds View City Council adopt the attached policy allowing for the transfer of sick leave from fellow employees wishing to donate sick leave to employees who have depleted all other available leave time, for circumstances allowing the use of sick time under Section 3.35, Paragraph “C” of the City’s Personnel Manual. Proposed Sick Leave Donation Policy per Resolution 5943: D. Sick Leave Donation Upon approval of the City Administrator, city employees may transfer sick leave to another employee who is eligible to utilize sick leave under the conditions set forth in Section 3.35, Paragraph C “USE,” when all other available leave time has been depleted, and the following conditions are met: • The proposed recipient wants to participate. • No employee will be able to receive more than thirty days of donated sick leave in a twelve-month period without the approval of the City Administrator. • Employees may only donate sick leave if the donating employee will have a remaining balance of at least forty hours of sick leave remaining after the donation. • The value of the donated sick leave will be prorated, and credited to the recipient at the donor’s rate of pay. The recipient may only receive thirty days of donated sick leave after the value of the donated sick leave has been calculated and adjusted to the recipient’s rate of pay. • If the recipient separates from city employment before using all donated sick leave, the remaining donated sick leave may not be converted to severance pay, and will be credited back to the donor. • Donation of sick leave by city employees will be completely voluntary. No city employee shall pressure or otherwise attempt to influence another city employee to donate sick leave.
