You are entitled to up to three (3) workdays of leave upon the death of immediate family members, as defined below.  These workdays must be successive but may be interrupted by a weekend, holiday, or day off.  The period of time off must encompass the day of the funeral.

For purposes of administering this policy, your “immediate family” includes one of the following current relationships: spouse, children, parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, and grandchildren of yours or your spouse.

Up to one day may be granted for the purpose of attending a funeral of family members other than those classified as “immediate family”.

Should additional time off in excess of the time provided for in this policy be necessary, you may take benefit time (vacation, sick, personal) if available.  Such request should be coordinated with your supervisor.
