Augusta State University Medical Leave Assistance Program

Abstract

The Medical Leave Assistance Program is a means by which a program member may donate accrued sick leave to a reserve or directly to another program member who is unable to work for an extended period of time. This program encourages prudent use of accrued leave, but provides access and direct assistance to members with extraordinary medical issues (see life threatening or emergency medical condition definition below). It can also provide a limited bridge between accrued leave and the University’s short‐ or long‐term disability programs
