BEREAVEMENT POLICY Clause Samples
A Bereavement Policy clause defines the rights and procedures for employees to take leave following the death of a close family member or loved one. Typically, it specifies the amount of paid or unpaid leave allowed, eligibility criteria, and any documentation required to support the leave request. This clause ensures that employees have clear guidance and support during times of personal loss, while also helping employers manage staffing and maintain workplace consistency.

Students experiencing a death in the family should contact the Department of Academic & Student Support Services in order to request a Standard Bereavement Leave or a Bereavement Leave of Absence: Upon approval from the Department of Academic & Student Support Services, the student is allowed 14 consecutive days of excused absence. Dates are specified by the student. The student would still be required to complete all course requirements.
