Three (3) consecutive workdays of bereavement leave shall be granted to each employee upon the death of a member of his/her family. Leave for full or part time employees must begin within five (5) calendar days of the date of death of the family member or the date of the funeral. The Employer may grant vacation, sick leave or personal leave to extend the bereavement leave.

In the event an infant child dies while an employee is using Adoption/Childbirth leave for that infant, Adoption/Childbirth leave terminates on the date of the death. Requested bereavement leave may begin on the day following the death of the child. Bereavement leave will be granted in the case of a stillbirth conditioned upon the tendering of a death certificate.
