Section 36-26-35.2

Donation of annual leave for catastrophic illness, etc.

Notwithstanding any other laws to the contrary, a state employee employed in any branch of state government may donate his or her accrued and unused annual, sick, or compensatory leave to another state employee who has qualified for catastrophic sick leave or maternity leave. The state employee receiving the donated leave may be in a position with an equal, a higher, or a lower pay grade than the position of the donor employee. Donated leave shall be calculated on an hour for hour basis. There shall be no limitation on the number of hours a state employee may donate or receive. All leave donated to an employee shall remain in effect for 12 months after donation or until used by such employee, whichever occurs first; provided however, such employee must remain employed with the State of Alabama.
