Consider Helping Members in Need
Perhaps you did not know, NYS has a leave donation program that allows state workers to donate their vacation time to be used as sick time to assist
employees in need. These donations can be made across unions and can mean the world to a peer with a long-term medical issue. If you cannot use your time I would implore you to donate to persons on the below list. Every donated day helps to ensure they remain on the payroll and eligible for much-needed health insurance. Especially with the upcoming holidays. Links to the necessary forms are below. Complete the form and email or fax to time and attendance.
Maria Esquivel – Housekeeping
Michael Depaolo – Hospital building
Gregory Patchell – Distribution services
Lalaine Villaroman– Surgical Trauma
Every day donated is a tremendous help and comfort to those in need . Also, if you know of someone who might be in need of leave donations due to an unforeseen extended illness please pass on the form below for them
to complete and return to Human Resources to evaluate for eligibility and processing.
