Procedure

The purpose of Bereavement Leave is to provide all full-time benefits-eligible employees up to three consecutive days of leave with pay for each death in their immediate family.

“Immediate family” for this policy is defined as: the employee’s spouse, mother, father, sister, brother, children, grandparents, grandchildren, mother-in-law, father-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, or other person who occupies a position of similar significance in the family of the employee. An employee's step and foster relationships with the above are included in the definition of “immediate family.”

An additional two days of extended bereavement leave is available to an employee upon the death of an employee’s spouse, child or parent or other person who occupies a position of similar significance (as spouse, child or parent) in the family of the employee.
