How long can employees receive donated sick leave?

Once approved by DOHR, employees may receive donated sick leave for up to 30 workdays per request within the approved period.
A new Request for Donated Sick Leave and Medical Statement must be submitted after each 30-day period to continue receiving leave.

Donated sick leave may be used for regular workdays and holidays during the approved time. Employees stop receiving donated leave once they are medically released to return to work.
