To amend title 5, United States Code, to allow Federal employees to take time off from work, without loss of time or pay, for the purpose of donating blood.

H.R. 4963 is a legislative proposal designed to allow federal employees to take paid time off from work specifically to donate blood. Under this bill, employees could receive up to one full day of leave for each donation, for a maximum of four occasions per calendar year, without any reduction in their pay, accrued vacation time, or performance ratings. The bill aims to encourage blood donations within the federal workforce by removing workplace barriers and ensuring that employees do not face financial or professional penalties for participating in donation efforts.
