Donate Your Unused PTO
Eligible Johns Hopkins Health System employees are able to donate unused paid leave to this year's United Way campaign. Complete this form by December 31 to donate your paid leave.
Paid leave refers to paid time off (PTO), paid annual leave (PAL), or paid day's leave (PDL). Sick leave is not eligible for donation. The dollar value of your donation will depend on your hourly pay rate and your employer's accrued leave policy. All donated hours will be deducted from your leave bank following the second pay period in December 2024.
