1.19 Bereavement Leave Policy

I. Policy

A full-time employee will be permitted up to three working days bereavement leave without pay reduction if a member of the immediate family dies.

The immediate family means a spouse, parent, child, brother, sister, grandparent, or grandchild. The term also includes the step, half, and in-law relationships.
Leave for the death of an individual not a member of the immediate family must be approved by the immediate administrator and will be without pay, or the individual may use vacation or sick time to cover the leave.
