Article 36: Bereavement Leave
- If a death occurs in the employee’s immediate family, up to five (5) working days leave may be granted, without a loss of pay. If considerable travel is involved, an additional two (2) days travel time with pay may be granted. Part-time employees will be entitled to the same benefit; meaning if their regular work schedule for that week is three (3) days, then they would be entitled to those three (3) days as paid bereavement leave.
- Supervisors may approve reinstatement of up to seven (7) vacation days (including two (2) days travel time) if a death occurs in the employee’s immediate family while the employee is on vacation.
- Bereavement leave may be granted in order for an employee to attend the funeral of a close personal friend or a relative who is not immediate family.
