BEREAVEMENT LEAVE

Bereavement leave, not in excess of three calendar days, following the date of death of an employee’s brother, sister, parent, child, spouse, or spouse’s parent. (Employee’s step-parents and spouse’s step parents if legally adopted), in such cases a minimum basic day’s pay at the rate of the last service rendered will be allowed for the number of days lost during bereavement leave. Employees involved will make provision for taking their supervising officials in the usual manner.

An employee will have the following options in deciding when to take bereavement leave:

a) Three consecutive calendar days, commencing the day of the death, when the death occurs prior to the time an employee is scheduled to report for duty;

b) Three consecutive calendar days ending the day of the funeral service; or

c) Three consecutive calendar days, ending the day following the funeral service.

The three options set forth above are the only choices a covered employee has. An employee is not, for example, entitled to compensation for a Wednesday through Friday bereavement leave for a death occurring during his or hers regularly assigned to Tuesday and the funeral being on Saturday. As the death did not occur prior to the start of shift, the employee must select options (b) or (c) and cannot be considered under option (a).
