My grandfather just passed away after a long hard battle with cancer. Been working for brown for 10 months. Looked all over the contract but can't find anything on bereavement days. How many do I get and will I get paid for them ? Help!

Section 2. Funeral Leave
In the event of a death of a member of the employee’s family, a seniority
employee shall be allowed a reasonable time off to attend the
funeral or other bereavement rite.
Members of the employee’s family means spouse, child, or stepchild,
grandchild, father, mother, brother, sister, grandparents,
mother-in-law and father-in-law and step-parents.
A regular full-time employee shall be guaranteed two (2) days off
to be taken between the day of death and two (2) working days following
the funeral provided the employee attends the funeral or
other bereavement rite. In cases involving the funeral of a relative
listed in paragraph 2 above, an employee who attends the funeral or
bereavement rite is guaranteed a minimum of two (2) days off.
An employee shall be allowed one (1) day off to attend the funeral
or other bereavement rite of a sister-in-law or a brother-in-law.
Reimbursement for this day shall be the same as provided below.
Time off shall not extend beyond the day of the funeral unless an additional
day is required for travel, except as provided above. In no event
will total compensated time off exceed four (4) scheduled work days.
The employee will be reimbursed at eight (8) times the employee’s
straight-time hourly rate for each day lost from work for those employees
whose regular scheduled workweek is five (5) days, and ten (10)
times the straight-time hourly rate for those employees whose regular
scheduled workweek is four (4) days. Part-time employees will receive
the same benefits as above, paid at four (4) times the employee’s
hourly rate. Better conditions contained in Supplements, Riders or
Addenda will be maintained by present employees. All employees
hired after July 2, 1982 will be covered by the above language.

Jones, the OP only has 10 months of service. Does funeral leave also require a minimum of one year of service?


Resident know-it-all.
It's a valid question however in the language of that section there is no mention of the year or any similar minimum time worked type clause.

I have got paid for a sick day a couple weeks back. Meanwhile I thought I needed to be there 1 year before being paid for sick days .

Sorry for your loss. Its tough. Make sure you have the obit for them.
In the bog (bubble of goodness), you should be able to get more time off unpaid if needed. But if you dont work in one of those, they will tell you, nothing you can do now hes gone, get to work.

The language applies to seniority employees, which is 30 days where I'm at and probably for you as well.

If you made book before the year rolls over (May 1 here) then you get your sick/optional days starting May 1.
