Help coworkers through Catastrophic Leave donations

CAPT got the concept of Catastrophic Leave off the ground two decades ago; the program’s been in our contract since 1989. And now we’re streamlining and improving our program by publishing Catastrophic Leave requests statewide on our website and in our magazine.

Article 6.9 of the CAPT contract gives Psych Techs the right to request leave donations from coworkers in cases of financial hardship due to injury or the prolonged illness of the Psych Tech or his or her family member, or for parental or adoption leave purposes.

You can help by donating vacation, annual leave, personal leave, CTO and holiday credits. Simply contact your personnel office to fill out a Catastrophic Leave donation form, or use the form included at the link at the top of this page.

If you need help and have received department approval to get leave donations, contact Brady Oppenheim at (800) 677-2278 to be included in our publications. You also may qualify for reduced union dues while you recuperate. Contact your chapter president to find out more.
