III. BACKGROUND
Ms. Lacona, age 34, is a Social Casework Specialist II.
Following a routine medical exam this past December, she
was diagnosed as having breast cancer which had spread to
the lymph nodes. A mastectomy was performed and
chemotherapy started. Subsequently, on January 20, 1991,
Ms. Lacona and her parents were involved in a serious
automobile accident which resulted in severe damage to
her spleen. These injuries required surgery and the
discontinuation of chemotherapy. Ms. Lacona also has
Cerebral Palsy which has been exacerbated by the breast
cancer and injuries sustained in the automobile accident.
Ms. Lacona has been absence since December 4, 1990, and
has used all of her vacation, holiday, and sick leave
accruals.
Because of Ms. Lacona's hardship caused by being absent
without pay, several employees have expressed their
desire to transfer a portion of their accruals to Ms.
Lacona so that she will not be without pay. The Social
Service Department supports this generous gesture of its
employees.
