12/21/12:  As the year closes, please remember to donate your "use or lose" leave to the Leave Bank, where it can be put to good use providing leave to your co-workers who have exhausted their own sick leave due to illness or medical emergency. All you need to do is send an email to Jack Waller in OHR, at [email protected], and tell him that you want to automatically donate any use or lose leave that you would otherwise forfeit. Thanks for your generosity.
