The University of Florida has established a COVID-19 Leave Donation Plan (the “Plan”) in response to the developing global COVID-19 pandemic. The Plan allows a leave donor to donate their personally accrued leave (their choice of annual vacation or sick leave) into a UF-sponsored leave pool for use by other employees who have been adversely affected by this emergency and have exhausted all of their personally accrued leave.

An employee is adversely affected if the disaster has caused severe hardship to the employee or to their immediate family members and requires the employee to be absent from work. Examples of hardship include personal medical emergencies, quarantine mandates, or inability to work or telework. A committee made up of UFHR members will evaluate that an employee meets the hardship criteria before granting awards from the pool.
