I informed my manager that I would need 2 days off due to a death in the family. (wake, funeral) He then extended his condolences and said just to inform him on the days I would need. The next day my supervisor who I have been having issues with demanded that I get documentation proving my claim. My question is, am I REQUIRED to show him any documentation. Thanx for the help.

Typically the company doesn't require it but it's better to have it on hand. Bring a copy of the obituary and/or funeral program with you.

Yes. Although it depends on your center manager. When I told my center manager I needed 2 days of for my uncles funeral he said ok. When I got back management didn't ask for any proof. I even got paid funeral leave although I didn't care about getting paid.

I've usually only seen it requested when the employee no call/no shows or has a history of absenteeism. Had a 2 year guy one time no call 4 days in a row, show up to work and claim his aunt had died and he attended the service out of state. After he was fired, we asked him to get a copy of the funeral program and never heard back from him.

How did you get paid for an uncle?

LOL same thing happened here, but there was a hiring freeze & therefore kept his job.
When my Grandmother passed about 2 years ago, on car said I needed to bring back proof.
I brought nothing back, and they never asked. I HAD the funeral program, but it's for MY personal memory, NOT UPS'

With the Internet, it would be very easy to show "proof ", if needed.

Idk. But I did. Wasn't expecting to get paid. I was clear too about it being an uncles death.

When someone passes away, it doesn't necessarily make it into the obits in the newspaper. Usually the funeral home will do that for you as part of their services, but some folks decline. When my father died, it wasn't in the paper. I know management looked because they told me they would have sent flowers if they had known. Not sure I believe them but that's what they said.

The sup may have said he was good for the time off, but UPS sometimes will require proof that you attended the funeral in order to get the funeral pay.

I got paid for my wife's aunt out of state when I was on preload. Didn't say who died. Didn't realize I needed too. Was just a dumb preloaded. Was not asked for proof either.

Would you take a selfie by the casket to show them?

Funeral Homes usually have a card with deceased name and short bio or obit. Proof enough.
