As authorized by O.C.G.A. § 45-20-30, USG employees are eligible to request the following:

• Up to two (2) hours of paid leave for the purpose of donating blood up to four (4) times each calendar year, or

• Up to four (4) hours of leave for the purpose of donating blood platelets or granulocytes through the plasmapheresis process up to four (4) times each calendar year.

An employee who does not use the entire time allowed at the time of each donation does not accrue any right to any subsequent paid or unpaid leave.
