Catastrophic Leave is a program which unions bargained to create in our 1996-97 contracts. It is a program to voluntarily donate (transfer) annual leave, Saturday legal holiday, personal holiday and sabbatical time to employees who have been granted unpaid leaves of absence due to catastrophic need for which no eligible paid leave benefits or replacement income are available. Details can be found in Article 12, Section 21 of any WPEC contract on or after 1996.
