[QUOTE="Nimnim, post: 1365962, member: 28856"] While I've been working at UPS I've only had a grandmother die. I let my sort manager know and after a short conversation he told me to let my FT sup know of any days I'd be taking off. I don't have any attendance issues or serious problems on my record so they probably would have taken my word completely, but I didn't take any time off as there was no service and it happened right before a holiday weekend so I had time away from work to collect my thoughts. I do know of a couple people though that did attempt to claim bereavement and they did have issues that kept management looking at them and when asked for proof they couldn't produce any and were let go. The union couldn't do much for them either because mysteriously all paperwork and travel receipts were thrown away so they had no proof they traveled or attended anything. If you're looking for paid time off for it, expect to provide some evidence. Might not have to, but if you are telling the truth then it wouldn't be hard to get something. Unpaid time off for a death not covered for bereavement pay should be fine, but you might have to produce something though worst case it'd be an attendance infraction there. [/QUOTE]
