Voluntary Leave Bank Program (VLBP)

The VLBP allows for the establishment of leave banks to assist employees who are experiencing a personal or family medical emergency and have exhausted his or her available paid leave. Under VLBP, the employee must be a member of the leave bank and must make a written request to the leave bank board. If the employee is not capable of making the request, a personal representative may make the application on behalf of the employee. Employees may contribute unused accrued annual leave to the leave bank. After the medical emergency, any unused donated annual leave is returned to the leave bank.

Note: An Agency is not required to establish a leave bank program.
