CATASTROPHIC LEAVE BANK
Program Design. , The County Human Resources
Department will begin operation of operate a Catastrophic Leave Bank which is
designed to assist any County employee who-has exhausted all paid accruals due
to a serious or catastrophic illness, injury, or condition of the employee or family
member. The program establishes and maintains a Countywide bank wherein any
employee who wishes to contribute may authorize that a portion of his/her accrued
vacation, compensatory time, holiday compensatory time or floating holiday be
deducted from those account(s) and credited to the Catastrophic Leave Bank.
Employees may donate hours either to a specific eligible_employee or to the bank.
Upon approval, credits from the Catastrophic Leave Bank may be transferred to a
requesting employee's sick leave account so that employee may remain in paid
status for a longer period of time, thus partially ameliorating the financial impact of
the illness, injury, or condition.
Catastrophic illness or injury is defined as a critical medical condition, a long-term
major physical impairment or disability which manifests itself during employment.
t3r,.2mtlon. The plan will be administered under the direction of the Director of
Human Resources. The Human Resources Department will be responsible for
receiving and recording all donations of accruals and for initiating transfer of credits
from the Bank to the recipient's sick leave account. Disbursement of accruals will
be subject to the approval of a six (6) member committee composed of three (3)
members appointed by the County Administrator and three (3) members appointed
by the majority representative employee organizations. The committee shall meet
as necessary to consider all requests for credits and shall make determinations as
to the appropriateness of the request. and the amount of aGefuals to be awa
The committee shall determine the amount of accruals to be awarded for employees
whose donations are non-specific. Consideration of all requests by the committee
will be on an anonymous requester basis.
Hours transferred from the Catastrophic Leave Bank to a recipient will be in the form
of sick leave accruals and shall be treated as regular sick leave accruals.
To receive credits under this plan, an employee must have permanent status, must
have exhausted all time off accruals to a level below eight (8) hours total, have
applied for a medical leave of absence and have medical verification of need.
Donations are irrevocable unless the donation to the eligible employee is denied.
and [donations may be made in hourly blocks with a minimum blsake donation
of not less than four (4) hours from balances in the vacation, holiday, floating
holiday, compensatory time, or holiday compensatory time accounts. Emolovees
who elect to d naf to a nd' ' ual shall ve sev -five rcen ° f
their donation ted to the individual and twenty-fto pgMgjA (25°,+0)credited to the
Catastrophic Leave Bank.
Time donated will be converted to a dollar value and the dollar value will be
converted back to sick leave accruals at the recipient's base hourly rate when
disbursed. Credits will not be on a straight hour-for-hour basis. All computations will
be on a standard 173.33 basis, except that employees on other than a forty (40)
hour week will have hours prorated according to their status.
Any recipient will be limited to a total of one thousand forty (1040) hours or its
equivalent per catastrophic event; each donor will be limited to one hundred twenty
(120) hours per calendar year.
No element of this plan is grievable. All appeals from either a donor or recipient will
be resolved on a final basis by the director of Human Resources.
This GatastmphiG Leave 8ankPFG9F8FA is adopted eR a twelvementh (12) p
by lY •
No employee will have any entitlement to catastrophic leave benefits. The award
of Catastrophic Leave will be at the sole discretion of the committee, both as to
amounts of benefits awarded and as to persons awarded benefits. Benefits may be
denied, or awarded for less than six (6) months. The committee will be entitled to
limit benefits in accordance with available contributions and to choose from among
eligible applicants on an anonymous basis those who will receive benefits e, xcept
for hours donated to a specific employee. In the event a_donation is made to a
specific employee and the committee determines the employee does not meet the
Catastrophic Leave Bank criteria, the donating employee may authorize the hour
to be donated to the bank or returned to the donor's account. The donating
employee will have fourteen (14)-calendar days from notification to submit his/her
decision regarding the status of their donation, or the hours will be irrevocably
transferred to the Catastrophic Leave Bank.
Any unused hours transferred to a recipient will be returned to the Catastrophic
Leave Bank.

Revised: 2-23-00
SECTION 29 - PROBATIONARY PERIOD
Effective with Board of Supervisors approval of the MOU, upon initial appointment
employees in classifications subject to this MOU (excluding Exempt Medical Staff
Resident Physicians) shall serve a cis-(6) nine (9) month probationary period
commencing on the date of appointment. The probationary period shall not include time
served in temporary or residency appointments or any period of continuous absence
exceeding fifteen (15) calendar days. Employees will receive an evaluation during the
probationary period.
The regular appointment of a probationary employee shall begin on the day following
the end of the probationary period, subject to the condition that the Director of Human
Resources receive from the appointing authority a statement in writing that the services
of the employee during the probationary period were satisfactory and that the employee
is recommended for permanent appointment. If a clerical or administrative error delays
a probationary report and it is determined that it was the intent of the appointing
authority to retain the probationer, the employee affected will not suffer any loss of pay
or benefits.
Employees will serve a probationary period unless at the discretion of the appointing
authority the probationary period is waived for employees who have previously served
one (1) year or more in a permanent position in good standing in this bargaining unit
and who have not been separated from County service for a period of more than five
(5) years.
During the probationary period, employees are subject to termination by the appointing
authority without cause and without right of appeal or compliance with Section 14 -
Dismissal, Suspension, Reduction in Pay, and Demotion, or Section 15 - Grievance
Procedure.
