Is donated leave a possibility for employees who are unable to come to work because of H1N1?
Donated leave is reserved for very serious situations. Although uncomfortable and disruptive, most cases of flu are not expected to rise to this level. If complications from H1N1 created a catastrophic illness situation for someone, the donated leave policy may be applied. Taking steps to prevent the spread of flu—such as getting a flu shot, covering your cough, washing your hands and staying home when sick—will help avoid illness in the first place.
