Shared Leave Request Form
What is this form?
The Shared Leave Request Form is a legal document that allows employees to request voluntary shared leave from their coworkers. This form is specifically designed for full-time employees who have exhausted their earned leave and wish to use donated leave instead. Unlike standard leave requests, this form caters to situations where employees require additional time off due to medical conditions and need support from their peers through a shared leave program.
Key components of this form
- Eligibility criteria outlining the necessity for employees to exhaust all earned leave before requesting shared leave.
- Specification of the maximum hours allowed for shared leave, capped at 174 hours over a consecutive 12-month period.
- Guidelines on how unused donated leave is managed at the end of the medical condition, including pro rata return to donors.
- Employee signature section to confirm the request, alongside dates for submission and approval.
When this form is needed
This form is used when an employee requires additional leave due to a medical condition and has no remaining earned leave available. It is particularly useful in situations where employees are facing serious health issues and need support from their colleagues to receive donated leave hours. Employees should consider this form after exhausting all other vacation or sick leave options.
Intended users of this form

- Full-time employees who have exhausted their available earned leave.
