Investopedia explains 'Leave-Sharing Plan'

Employees who benefit from the additional leave time are taxed for the equivalent compensation that they receive as W-2 income. Employers who offer this type of plan must consider several factors, such as whether employees can choose who they donate their sick time to and whether they should limit the amount or percent of sick leave that can be donated.
