Someone from RI posted the following but it didn't appear on the forum. I apologize for the inconvenience!
I am looking for a policy or some advise to allow employees to donate some of their vacation/sick hours to another employee who is out due to an unplanned illness. My concerns are is their any employer liability. We would send out an e-mail or memo to any employee who falls into this criteria, but is there any other liability I am not thinking of. One question, is does the employer need to get permission first from the ill employee? Thank you in advance for any assistance.
