Bereavement Leave Policy
In the event of the death of your spouse, child, parent, sibling or grandparent, you will be paid at your regular rate of pay for three (3) consecutive working days’ absence. Should you wish to take extra time, it may be taken as vacation time.
General information, not legal advice. Treat this as a drafting starting point, not a finished policy — employment law varies by jurisdiction and changes often, so have a licensed attorney tailor it to your situation before you rely on it.
