[QUOTE="Dark_Team_135, post: 699298, member: 17242"] [FONT=Tahoma]I have always considered this language to be one of the most poorly written parts of the entire contract. It really makes no sense as written. Here we get paid for up to 3 days between the day of death to the day of the funeral (don't ask me how that was decided) and if the funeral is out-of-state you can get an additional paid day for travel, for a total of four paid days. If you are on vacation or otherwise not working during the time these events occur, you get no days paid.[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma]If you read the first paragraph, it makes it sound like you get 2 paid days off between the day of death and the funeral, and 2 paid working days after the funeral. However, I take that to mean that you get 2 total compensated days off to be taken between the day of death and two days following the funeral, but who really knows? Perhaps they are not talking about paid days in that paragraph at all, but only "days off" without pay.
