Bereavement
The orgnization offers benefit eligible status employees funeral and bereavement leave time off with pay as a result of the death of an immediate family member. Employees in a non-benefit eligible status may request time off for funeral and bereavement leave; however the time off will be unpaid.

Immediate family member is defined as spouse, child, parent, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, including in-law, step and foster relationships. Same/opposite-sex domestic partners and children of domestic partners are eligible family members for funeral and bereavement leave, provided the relationship is established within federal/state guidelines.

Refer to Policy Manager (CHR-30) Funeral and Bereavement Leave for details.
