All Village employees who receive sick leave benefits from the Village may either donate their sick leave benefits to other Village employees or may receive sick leave benefits donated to them by other Village employees under the following rules and conditions:
(a) The donation of sick leave benefits shall be done on a form prescribed by the Municipal Manager and shall be signed by the donor employee, the donee employee (or his legal representative), and the approving Municipal Manager.
(b) A donation of sick leave benefits shall be in an exact amount of 48 hours (72 hours for Fire and Emergency Medical Service Employees), and a donor employee is limited to one donation per calendar year. Additionally, a donor employee may not donate said benefits unless he has a total of 368 hours of accumulated sick leave benefits at the time the donation is made.
(c) The donee employee may not receive sick leave benefits under this section unless he has first exhausted all other benefits for paid leave, including but not limited to, paid holidays, paid vacation days, and his own paid sick leave benefits.
(d) At the time sick leave benefits are donated, 48 hours (72 hours for Fire and Emergency Medical Service Employees) are deducted from the donor employees’ account and 48 hours or 72 hours are added to the donee employees’ account. Said transfer is irrevocable and irreversible.
(e) The Municipal Manager has full discretion to administer this section to help relieve hardship resulting from an extraordinary and/or extended illness or injury to a Village employee who lacks sufficient sick leave benefits.
