BLOOD DONOR POLICY
POLICY
It is the intent of the City of Rochester to encourage participation in the Mayo Clinic Volunteer
Blood Assurance Program by allowing employees the opportunity to donate blood on a pre-
scheduled date at an on-site City work location. These blood donation drives are generally
scheduled on a quarterly basis.
ELIGIBILITY
All regular full-time, part-time and seasonal employees who have been employed for at least
six (6) months are eligible to participate in this program. Other donation criteria will be depen-
dent on the Mayo Clinic's rules and regulations for the Blood Assurance Program
(www.mavoclinic.org/donateblood�.
GUIDELINES
A. Employees participating in a City on-site blood donor drive will be allowed up to one (1)
• hour of granted paid leave time to donate blood during their work day providing there is
adequate staff available to meet business needs and supervisor approval has been ob-
tained (note Section C).
B. Employees electing to donate blood, plasma or platelets at a program away from the place
of work, shall be required to use accrued vacation or compensatory time off for the ap-
pointment. The total amount of leave used under this provision may not exceed three
hours in a 12-month period. Payment for any of these services has no impact on the em-
ployee's eligibility to request paid time off.
C. While the City encourages participation in this on-site and other off-site blood donation and
apheresis programs, the request for time off will be balanced with the needs of citizens,
available staff coverage and other work requirements. Supervisory approval must be ob-
tained by the employee at least two days in advance of the donation day in order to receive
the paid leave.
D. Any employee determined by the supervisor or department head to be abusing the provi-
sions of the blood donation leave policy shall be subject to disciplinary action, not to ex-
clude termination.
