Sick Leave for Bereavement (SD)
Definition
- Sick leave for Bereavement applies if an employee is so incapacitated due to the death of an immediate family member that he/she cannot return to work.
- This type of leave is mutually exclusive from paid funeral leave.
- For the definition of immediate family member and significantly close relative, see appropriate collective bargaining agreement.
- Sick leave for bereavement comes out of sick leave balance. It is not the same as paid funeral leave.
