As a leave recipient, you will be paid at your normal rate of compensation. You must only use the leave received under this Plan for reasons related to the COVID-19 major disaster as described above. Hours will be proportionally awarded based on FTE, in increments of up to 80 hours, based on a 1.0 FTE. Upon exhaustion of all accruals, you may request up to 80 hours (based on 1.0 FTE), which if awarded, can be used over multiple payroll periods to provide prolonged income or to cover payroll-deducted benefit premiums. You may also make multiple requests up to the established limit (up to a total of 400 hours based on a 1.0 FTE); however, subsequent requests may be fulfilled in the order in which requests are received and requests from employees who have not already received donated leave will take precedence. Please note that leave received under the Plan cannot be converted into cash in lieu of using the leave.
