•004.04E  If catastrophic leave donations exceed that which is needed to cover the catastrophic illness/injury related absence, it shall remain in the catastrophic leave account for a period of one year from the employee’s return to work.  Remaining amounts may be used for future absences related to the catastrophic illness/injury (i.e., follow-up medical appointments/treatments).  After one year from the date of the employees return from the first period of extended absence, or upon death of the employee, any remaining catastrophic leave balance shall be forfeited.
