Catastrophic Leave List

The following individuals have met the requirements to participate in the Catastrophic Leave program.  Please note: individuals may be participating in the catastrophic leave program but not appear on this list.  It is optional for an individual to have their name posted.  The list is updated on a weekly basis.

If you would like to donate vacation time to any of these people, please fill out the appropriate form (PDF iconEmployee Catastrophic Illness Donation Form (pdf) or PDF iconFamily Catastrophic Illness Donation Form (pdf)) and send to: University Benefits, 120 USB, ATTN: Catastrophic Leave Donations.

Donated hours are irrevocably pledged. Leave is not taken from your account until the employee actually needs it. It could be several months to a year from the time we receive your donation form until the leave is used. In some cases an individual may not need all hours donated, therefore your donations may not be used.  Your pledge form will be returned when the person's eligibility for the program ends, and the hours will no longer be considered pledged.  This may take up to a year.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have a lot of sick time. Can I donate any of it to another employee in the catastrophic leave program?

No. You may only donate vacation time.

I have the maximum amount of vacation time accrued and I am losing vacation time. I don’t know anyone in the catastrophic leave program. Is there a pool I can donate to?

There is no pool; however, there is a list of individuals in need of donations. The donation form must have a recipient’s name.

I sent a catastrophic leave donation form in several months ago. Why hasn’t the time been deducted from my account yet?

The leave is not taken from your account until the employee actually needs it. It could be several months to over a year from the time we receive your donation form until the leave is used.

I received notice that you only used part of the leave I donated to an employee in the catastrophic leave program. What happened to the other hours?

The employee has only used a portion of the pledged hours. The remaining hours will continue as pledged for future use. Your donation form will be returned if the employee no longer needs the hours, and your hours are no longer considered pledged.

What happens to unused hours when the employee leaves the catastrophic leave program?

Hours are not taken from a donor until they are needed. If the recipient leaves the program, your donation form will be returned to you, and your hours are no longer considered pledged.
