Donor LeaveDonating bone marrow or blood cells is a commitment — and an opportunity to help save a life. Once you’ve joined the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) Registry, you should be readily available if we call you to donate. Typically the donation process requires 3 to 7 days of time off from work. Many companies and organizations have established donor leave policies that provide up to 7 days of paid leave for bone marrow or blood cell donors. State lawsSome states have laws requiring employers to provide paid donor leave. See if your state has a donor leave law: Donor Leave Statutes by State (PDF).
In addition, some states provide a state income tax credit or tax deduction for donation-related expenses, such as lost wages. (All of a donor's other medical, travel and non-medical donation-related costs are covered by the NMDP or the patient's medical insurance.)
