With the recent National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week, The Kidney Foundation of Canada has become the first national organization to implement a new policy aimed at removing some of the financial barriers associated with living organ donation with The Wage Replacement Policy for Living Organ and Tissue Donation. The new policy ensures the salary of an employee who becomes a living donor remains unchanged throughout the donation process and for up to 15 weeks of recovery and was introduced by the organization last year to better support any of the Foundation’s staff members who wish to donate an organ to a person in need.
