Policy 1.10: Shared Leave

UGA policy allows employees to share sick or annual leave as described at http://askuga.uga.edu/default.asp?id=962&SID=&Lang=1. CAES has developed a college process for requesting donated leave in order to comply with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations.

The "Shared Leave Solicitation Form" which can be found on the CAES intranet at http://www.caes.uga.edu/intranet/formsA-Z.html should be completed after the employee has been approved by University Human Resources for shared leave. Upon receipt of the attached solicitation form, CAES Benefits will notify the requested areas for the employee.

UGA Human Resources is unable to carry undesignated donated leave from one calendar year to the next. Undesignated leave can be donated at any time, however, leave donated by November 1st for undesignated individuals would have the best chance of being used by someone.
