                        ORDER NO.  1252 

                                   Amending Personnel Rules
                                   C7.06.02 and PX7.06.02
                                   concerning donation of personal
                                   leave.

IT IS ORDERED:

     1.   Personnel Rule C7.06.02 is amended to read as follows:

          C7.06.02

          Upon approval by the hiring supervisor and
          personnel director, an employee may donate
          personal leave to another employee provided it
          is to be used as personal leave for bona fide
          medical purposes as defined by Personnel Rules
          C7.02.02 and C7.03 or extenuating
          circumstances as determined by the
          Administrative Director.  Leave donated to an
          employee who takes family and health leave in
          a single block must be donated within the
          first two weeks after approval is granted.  No
          employee may solicit the donation of personal
          leave for the employee or another employee
          without prior written approval of the
          personnel director.  

          The personnel office will convert donated
          leave to dollars at the hourly rate of the
          donor.  The dollars will then be converted to
          leave at the hourly rate of the recipient of
          the donation and the appropriate hours of
          leave will be applied as needed on a pay
          period basis for the duration of the leave
          period.  Excess donations will be placed in
          the recipient's medical leave bank and will be
          subject to the provisions of Personnel Rule
          C7.09.01.

          Leave donated under this rule is not leave
          taken by the donor for purposes of Personnel
          Rule C7.02.04. 

          Once transferred, leave can not be re-
          transferred.  

          No monetary or other forms of payment may be
          made to the donor for donating leave.  Any
          such payment will be considered a violation of
          these rules for all parties involved in any
          monetary exchange or barter for leave donation
          (see Personnel Rule C10.08). 

     2.   Personnel Rule PX7.06.02 is amended to read as follows:

          PX7.06.02

          Upon approval by the hiring supervisor and
          personnel director, an employee may donate
          personal leave to another employee provided it
          is to be used as personal leave for bona fide
          medical purposes as defined by Personnel Rules
          PX7.02.02 and PX7.03 or extenuating
          circumstances as determined by the
          Administrative Director.  Leave donated to an
          employee who takes family and health leave in
          a single block must be donated within the
          first two weeks after approval is granted. No
          employee may solicit the donation of personal
          leave for the employee or another employee
          without prior written approval of the
          personnel director.  

          The personnel office will convert donated
          leave to dollars at the hourly rate of the
          donor.  The dollars will then be converted to
          leave at the hourly rate of the recipient of
          the donation and the appropriate hours of
          leave will be applied as needed on a pay
          period basis for the duration of the leave
          period.  Excess donations will be placed in
          the recipient's medical leave bank and will be
          subject to the provisions of Personnel Rule
          PX7.09.01.

          Leave donated under this rule is not leave
          taken by the donor for purposes of Personnel
          Rule PX7.02.04. 

          Once transferred, leave can not be re-
          transferred.  

          No monetary or other forms of payment may be
          made to the donor for donating leave.  Any
          such payment will be considered a violation of
          these rules for all parties involved in any
          monetary exchange or barter for leave donation
          (see Personnel Rule PX9.08).
