3.09 Bereavement Leave

Employees who wish to take time off due to the death of an immediate family member should notify their supervisor immediately. Unpaid time off will be granted to allow the employee to attend the funeral and make any necessary arrangements associated with the death.

Bereavement leave will normally be granted unless there are unusual business needs or staffing requirements. Employees may, with their supervisors' approval, use any available paid leave for additional time off as necessary.

Grubstake defines "immediate family" as the employee's spouse, parent, child, or sibling.
