POLICY
Wisconsin Act 125 provides
for special leave provisions for state employees if they elect to donate either
bone marrow or human organs. A
leave of absence of 5 workdays is granted to any employee for bone marrow
donation and a 30 day leave is granted to any employee for the purposes of human
organ donation. The employee must
provide written verification of the procedure.
An employee who is granted a leave under this section shall receive his
or her base salary without interruption. Additionally,
for the purposes of determining seniority, pay or pay advancement or performance
awards and for the receipt of any benefit that may be affected by a leave the
service of the employee shall be considered uninterrupted by the leave of
absence.
PROCEDURE
To request a leave for
these purposes, the employee needs to complete the “Notification of Intent to
Donate Bone Marrow or Human Organ” form.
This form must be returned to Human Resources prior to granting the
leave.
