The Catastrophic Leave Donation Program allows any CSU employee who accrues vacation or sick leave credits to voluntarily donate either of those credits to any other eligible CSU employee on the same campus in the event of a catastrophic illness or injury. The maximum amount of sick leave and vacation credits an employee may donate will vary based upon the respective collective bargaining agreement and CSU policy. Donated catastrophic leave credits supplements disability benefits an employee is eligible to receive, including IDL, TD and NDI. In some circumstances, an employee may be ineligible for NDI and IDL, but will be eligible for catastrophic leave. A disabled employee may participate as a recipient in the Catastrophic Leave Donation Program upon exhausting all personal leave credits and meeting the criteria developed by each campus under the guidelines set forth in the reference guides listed above. Represented and non-represented employees of the CSU may use leave credits donated by employees of the same campus to supplement benefits under these programs. Supplementation may be on a partial or full basis, but is not to exceed the employees gross monthly salary rate.
