Catastrophic Leave Bank:  The Catastrophic Leave Bank was created to provide employees with financial support in the event of a catastrophic illness for either themselves or an immediate family member. All unit members on active duty with the District are eligible to contribute to the EGEA Catastrophic Leave Bank if they have accrued a minimum of 10 days of sick leave. Employees must initially enroll during the open enrollment window, between July 1 and October 1, each year by donating either one or two days of sick leave. If the days in the Catastrophic Bank fall below 1,000, an additional day of contribution will be required of all participants. Click HERE to learn more about the Catastrophic Leave Bank and access the enrollment form. Contact the HR department at the EGUSD District Office if you have further questions. Enrollment forms should be submitted to Human Resources.
