Have to be out for five consecutive days before you qualify. All hours have to be exhausted first.\n• Employees have to have to maintain a minimum of 75 hours before donating.\n• Morehead's model is being used.\n• One complication: This also affects faculty as well.\n• University Benefit: Reducing liability on books.•
