"Donating" Time Off

TinaL

Since the FSLA does not require payment for time not worked (vacation, sick time, holidays) is there a reason employees should not be allowed to "donate" days to fellow employees who need more paid time off for medical reasons or personal tragedies?

Obviously, we would want to write a policy setting limits and circumstances when we would allow this. But are there any legal reasons?

This topic was covered some time back on the forum and several people contributed sample policies:

Donated Vacation Time Policy
Illness/Attendance Policy
Shared Leave Policies and Forms
Catastrophic Leave Donation Policy

Those policies are posted at [url]http://www.hrhero.com/policies/policyindex.shtml[/url]
