I am confused about how the funeral leave works. My mother in law passed away on wednesday. The funeral is monday. I read the contract as saying I get 2 days off between the death and funeral and then 2 days after the funeral. I believe I should have thurs, fri, mon, tues, & wed. What do you think??

I had to go to tx from Ohio, for my brother I got 3 days. w, th,fr, funeral on sat, so no day for travel as that was sunday. It varies tho as everything does at UPS. If you have to travel and the funeral is monday, you should get 4,if you travel. So you will lose one day if its on monday, never more than 4. Make sure you get what you should, call your union hall, and put the obit in your center manager hands as early as possible.

Cachux is right.
We only get three days here, but when I told my center manager my father had died, he said to take as much time as I needed.
My center manager's exact words were," Family comes first."
I hope your management has the same compassion.

I thought that you get family leave through fmla fo help your spouse. Not sure if you get paid time off for a mother in law..
Thought it extended to spouse, siblings, brothers and sisters only. I don't believe Aunts and Uncles apply either!
Maybe someone could clarify?
I believe it is only 2 days max between death and up to 2 days following funeral and only if you attend the funeral or other breavement rite.

If you were trying to be "funny", you missed the mark.
Would you be so glib if it was your fathers, mothers or any other close family members funeral?
A very shallow and callous post.

I agree! ....My uncle just passed away literally in the last hour. And I don't even care if I get paid or not. I will make sure that I show my final respects to him and I am honored to be there in his death!

Wah
If you are going to be gone for more than the "reasonable" amount of time ,then yes, you would probably have to apply for fmla. As far as the 2 day rule it is more of a guideline as there is no hard and fast rule for funeral/bereavement time periods. There are exceptions. I recently attended the funeral services for someone over a week after there passing. They had children who live out of country and services were delayed until all could arrive.

I was not being funny at all. And my father passed away 14 years ago and UPS gave me 3 days paid off for that. I didn't really mean it to sound the way it did. My apologies if offense was taken by anyone.

No added time for a death during a vacation. At least in my supplement. Check with your local
