This benefit is payable only on days the employee would have been scheduled to work. Proof of eligibility will be required by the Employer. Three days’ pay at regular straight-time rate for bereavement leave and, at the discretion of the employee, two days of sick leave in conjunction with funeral leave will be granted to each employee who has a death of a brother or sister. Bereavement leave days do not need to be consecutive, but must be taken within sixty (60) days after the employee receives notice of the death of the family member. Exceptions to the sixty-day requirement may be granted by Human Resources, depending on the circumstances. Bereavement leave under this provision will run concurrently with any bereavement leave to which an employee may be entitled under OFLA.
