Consider Helping Members in Need
Did you know that New York State has a remarkable leave donation program designed specifically for state workers to extend a helping hand to their colleagues in times of need? This program allows you to donate your vacation time to be converted into sick leave for fellow employees facing long-term medical challenges. Imagine the profound impact your generous gesture could have on a peer's life, providing them with the support they desperately need during difficult times. By participating in this program, you are not only showcasing your solidarity as a member of the health sciences faculty but also reinforcing our collective commitment to member welfare. Let’s come together and make a meaningful difference in our community by donating our time to those who need it most. We urge you to consider the profound impact of donating your extra leave time to fellow members who are currently on long-term medical leave. Your generous contributions of vacation days can ensure that these individuals remain on the payroll and continue to receive essential health insurance during their time of need. It is important to note that these donations are directed specifically to individuals and cannot be pooled, highlighting the personal connection and support within our community. To facilitate your contributions, please find the necessary forms linked below. Once completed, kindly email or fax the forms to the time and attendance department. We would also like to remind you that any accrued annual leave days exceeding 40 will be forfeited after January 1, 2026, so we encourage you to act promptly. Together, let us demonstrate our solidarity and compassion as we support our colleagues facing significant health challenges.
