Shared Leave

SHARED LEAVE REQUEST TO-DO LIST

  • You must be approved for shared leave by your HR representative first. Once you’ve been approved by your agency or institution, AFSCME Council 28 (WFSE) can place shared leave requests on this website.
  • To make a request, send an email to [email protected] Attention: Jesse Kearns. 
    Please include the following in your request:
    • Your HR or PR contact's full name, email and phone number so donors know how to make the donation.
    • Dates of your approved leave - beginning and end dates.
  • You do not need to provide any details of why you were approved for shared leave. Medical details will not be posted on the website. 

In all cases, agencies or institutions must approve requests to donate and receive shared leave.
Donations of unused annual leave, sick leave or all or part of personal holidays can be made. 
Posting a request on the union website is a member benefit, therefore you must be a union member.

ABOUT USSLP:

The 2007 Legislature created a Uniformed Service Shared Leave Pool (USSLP) to allow employees to donate leave for any employee who has been called to service in the uniformed services and who meets the shared leave requirements. The USSLP will be administered by the Military Department. For more information contact your employer’s human resource office or view the guidelines established by the Military Department at https://mil.wa.gov/uniformed-service-shared-leave-pool. Contact Jennifer Connely at 253-512-7522 or [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns related to the USSLP.  Thanks!
