University Policy 6.9
Catastrophic Leave Donation

Cornell University provides catastrophic leave donation to assist eligible staff members who have experienced a catastrophic, health-related event and have exhausted all accruals, with the exception of up to five days of vacation, which he/she may elect to save. When they have determined that the eligibility requirements for Catastrophic Leave Donation have been met, colleges and units have the flexibility to administer leave donation cases using their established procedures.
