a) Employees are allowed leave with pay, up to a maximum of two (2) hours, to make a blood donation during regularly scheduled hours of work.

b) Employees donating through the Apheresis process (platelet transfusion) are allowed up to four (4) hours to make such a donation during regularly scheduled hours of work.

c) Administrative leave may be earned every 56 days.

d) For either type of donation, the Blood Donor Center issues a "Certificate of Donation" to the employee, which identifies the method of donation, either regular or apheresis. This "certificate" authorizes the employee's department to permit the employee to take the four hours leave with pay at a mutually acceptable time. Exempt employees use of administrative leave earned is recorded in one-day increments. or in increments not less than that portion of a day during which an employee on less than full-time pay status is normally scheduled to work. For example, a full-time exempt employee would need two "certificates" if he or she works an 8 hour day.

e) Department timekeepers should keep a record of all blood donations and administrative leave taken, and make such records available to employees.

f) If the employee terminates employment or transfers to another department with administrative leave acquired through blood donations on record, such time is not transferable or payable to that employee.
