About a month ago the old lady that handles shipping and invoicing fell down some stairs at work, broke a few bones, then suffered a minor heart attack when she got to the hospital, she'll be out another 2-3 months and going through rehab.

Just got an email from HR to everybody saying that if we would like to donate our PTO to her we can. Looks like she's not being paid for 3-4 months, but we can donate our days to her (I've been working 15 months and so far have 6 days of my 7 total accrued days). I'm not donating shit.

Is this normal? Is this not insane? Is she not entitled to disability? What the fuck.

Work places will use any excuse to blame the employee so they don't have to pay.
I've never heard of a company allowing employees so donate their time off. Sounds sketchy.
Also, how would that work if everyone is at different pay rates? Some people's days off are worth more than others.

Disability insurance costs 15,000,000 merits, but you can gift it in return for only 200 work hours!

Oh my God I didn't even think of that, I bet my 8 hours would translate to her 8 hours despite the fact that I make almost double her.

That sounds illegal. You should file an anonymous report with the IRS and/or whichever agency oversees the conditions of your workplace.

I don't know, I could imagine either it isn't or she didn't even think to seek it. We have to use stairs to get to our office so this is absolutely a worker's comp situation.

Yeah, that's shit, but not unusual. Company gave me the option to help out one of the Facilities dudes because he was gonna be out for 6+ months for liver failure, but I didn't donate because I happened to know it was because of his drug abuse.

A company not paying for medical leave due to a workplace accident, though? That should be reported/investigated.

It's extremely common if you work for the Federal Government. They'll often send something out if someone has a need for time they don't have. Our sick leave never expires, so some people have more time than they can ever use. I don't think it's a common thing in the private sector, though.
