AND CONTRIBUTION AUTHORIZATION FORM
Employee Name (print): ____________________________________________
Employee Number: ________________________________________________
I hereby request participation in the City of Little Rock Catastrophic Leave Bank program. I agree to
contribute ______ hours (minimum of eight (8) for 40-hour employees; 24 for 56-hour employees)
from my personal accrual (mark one):
Sick Leave (SL) or Short-Term Disability (STD) accrual
Vacation (Vac) or Paid Time Off (PTO) accrual
[If left unmarked, the minimum hours will be taken from SL / STD.]
Upon implementation of the bank and on each plan anniversary date (January) until and unless I
provide notice in writing that I wish to cease participating, the amount indicated above will be
contributed to the bank annually. I understand that any leave contributed will belong to the bank and
cannot be restored to me even if I cease participation. After a request to cease participation, I
understand that I will continue to participate until the next plan anniversary date but after that date I
will not receive any benefit unless I complete a new enrollment and make the required contribution.
I also understand that any request for use of Catastrophic Leave requires the following:
1. Exhaustion of all accumulated leave.
2. An Absence of at least four weeks/twenty workdays before Catastrophic Leave can be granted
(includes time used in accordance with #1 above).

return to work date, and any anticipated restrictions on work activities as of that release date.
4. Approval by the Catastrophic Leave Bank Committee.
5. Completion of a request form with all required information and documentation.
6. Sufficient Catastrophic Leave Bank hours available for use.
7. I may have to supply documentation for previous sick leave usage and that the Committee may

leave abuse has occurred.
