Bereavement Leave. An employee will be granted special bereavement leave on full pay to discharge their obligations and/or to pay their respects to a deceased person with whom they have had a close relationship. Such obligations may exist because of blood or family ties or because of particular cultural requirements. The period of bereavement/tangihanga leave will be agreed between the employee and MPI; however employees will receive a minimum of three days bereavement leave on the death of a close relative. A minimum of one day’s paid leave will be provided on the death of any other person if the employee’s manager accepts that the employee has suffered bereavement. Employees will be entitled to a minimum of one day’s paid leave to attend an unveiling. In granting time off, the manager must administer these provisions in a culturally sensitive manner taking into account: • the closeness of the association between the employee and the deceased (Note: This association need not be a blood relationship); • whether the employee has to take significant responsibility for any or all of the arrangements to do with the ceremonies resulting from the death; • the amount of time needed to discharge properly any responsibilities or obligations; • reasonable travelling time should be allowed, but for cases involving overseas travel that may not be the full period of travel; and • a decision must be made as quickly as possible so that the employee is given maximum time possible to make any arrangements necessary. In most cases the necessary approval will be given immediately, but may be given retrospectively where necessary. • if paid special leave is not appropriate then annual leave or leave without pay should be granted. If a bereavement occurs while an employee is on leave on pay such as annual leave, sick leave, long service leave (except where this is taken on termination of duty), then such leave may be interrupted and bereavement leave granted. If a bereavement occurs before approved annual leave begins, MPI will allow the employee to take any period of bereavement that they would have taken as annual leave as bereavement leave.
