Leave Share Program
The Leave Sharing Program provides a means for NSU employees to donate paid leave
to a fellow University employee who is eligible for and requires donated leave time
due to an extraordinary or catastrophic illness, injury, impairment or physical or
mental condition for either the employee or an immediate family member, and which
has caused or may cause the employee to take leave without pay or terminate employment.
For the purposes of this policy, immediate family member shall be limited to the
spouse, child, stepchild, grandchild, grandparent, parent or stepparent of the employee.
This term shall also include foster children and legal wards, but not in-laws.
The NSU Leave Bank is maintained through Personal Leave hours donated for general
distribution. The Office of Human Resources will solicit donations for the Leave Bank
as needed.
Employees shall have no expectation of entitlement to Leave Sharing. Receipt or donation
of shared leave is a gift from fellow employees and is not intended to constitute
or obligate debt or reciprocity.
The Office of Human Resources has sole discretion in determining eligibility for participation
in the Leave Sharing Program at NSU. Details of the program are available from the
Office of Human Resources.
