Notice Regarding Rights of Employees Donating Blood

All New York employees may take one unpaid leave per calendar year lasting up to three hours to donate blood off-site. In the alternative, employees may take up to two paid leaves per year for on-site or off-site blood donations scheduled by Prudential. Employees who participate in company-sponsored blood donations will not be required to use accumulated PTO for their leaves. Prudential may require employees to show a notice from the blood bank or other sufficient documentation as proof of their blood donations or their good-faith efforts to donate blood.

Employees who wish to take unpaid leave to donate blood off-site must notify management at least three working days prior to their leave of their pending absence. Employees who intend to participate in a blood drive scheduled by Prudential, which may be either on-site or off-site, must provide management with notice of their intentions at least two days prior to the date of the blood donation.

If an employee’s position is deemed essential to Prudential’s operations or to its compliance with legal requirements, and three working days notice is insufficient to allow management to cover the absence, management may require that the employee to provide notice of up to ten days, but no longer than is necessary to temporarily fill the employee’s position.

If an employee experiences an emergency requiring the employee to donate blood for his/her own surgery or a family member’s, the employee must provide notice as soon as is possible under the circumstances.
