From which source do PBA members donate 2 hours annually?

• A. Vacation bank
• B. Sick leave pool
• C. Overtime
• D. Personal time

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is how PBSO PBA members participate in a leave-time donation system. Members contribute a small, set amount of their vacation time to a shared pool—the vacation bank. This bank exists to help colleagues who need paid time off for extended illness or other hardships after exhausting their own leave. The requirement to donate two hours each year keeps the bank funded so it can assist those in need. This source is distinct from a sick leave pool (which deals with sick time), and from overtime or personal time (which aren’t designated pools to support coworkers). So, the two-hour annual donation goes into the vacation bank.
