ARTICLE XXI 21.0 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 21.1 The City agrees to distribute Association membership pamphlets to bargaining unit employees at the new employee orientation sessions conducted by the City. 21.2 Catastrophic Leave Donation. In order to assist employees otherwise granted leave of absence without pay by the City Manager because of a catastrophic, non-industrial medical condition or injury, the City and Association agree to implement a Catastrophic Leave Donation Program. Nothing herein shall be construed to alter City policies and procedures as provided in the Charter or ordinances of the City of Santa Ana or other provisions of this Agreement with regard to granting unpaid leaves of absence. The Catastrophic Leave benefit will be provided for non-industrial injury or sickness only. The leave shall cover the uncompensated time prior to the employee's becoming eligible for the L.T.D. benefits. Any remaining Catastrophic Leave benefit will be used to supplement L.T.D. benefit payments to ensure an employee continues to receive their full salary continuation between both benefits. A. Guidelines. It shall be understood that all donations under this procedure are voluntary and subject to taxation for the recipient. Employees may donate vacation or compensatory time or one in lieu holiday to the eligible employee. In no event shall sick leave be donated. 2. Employees shall be provided a two-week period to submit donations. Donations received after this two-week period shall not be processed. The two-week period for each case shall be designated by the Department Head or his or her designee as provided herein below. 3. All donations must be made in two (2) hour increments and a maximum of eight (8) hours per donor, except in lieu holidays must be for eight (8) hours.
