Kiel Memorial Vacation/PTO Donation Program

The Duke University Vacation and Duke University Health System Paid Time Off (PTO) Donation Program allows employees the opportunity to donate accrued vacation or PTO Short Term Bank (STB) hours to fellow employees who have experienced a catastrophic illness or injury and who have exhausted all accrued time, thus resulting in a prolonged,  unpaid leave of absence. The illness or injury must either be the employee's or that of an eligible family member as defined by the IRS definition of a "dependent". Donated time must be either vacation or Short Term Bank hours in order to be considered a gift.
