[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 710837, member: 6408"] Listen, just take what you NEED! In my recent case, the managers/supes didn't say a word! And I appreciated that. Course, I was off for 5 straight weeks taking care of Mom before she passed. And two w/es after when my sister finally "manned" up and stayed and I took over on weekends. When she finally went, it was on a Mon night/Tues morn. I had just left her Mon afternoon when sis took over, came home, took nap, got up at midnight and was walking out the door to work when sis called and said she (Mom, not sis) was unresponsive. I called work to say I wasn't coming in, no argument, no nothing! And this was 20 min before start time! 2 hours later, Mom was gone. In morn, I called supe and HE said I probably wasn't coming in the rest of the week, huh? I said probably. He said take all the time you need. No service, direct cremation. No obit. No notice. No death certificates. Just short Memorial service on Sat. Still got paid for 2 days of bereavement w/the rest of the week unpaid. MY point? I took time off to deal with other issues at this time. 2 days would not have been enough. I am executor. I was durable power of attorny. The company let me run with it. No questions asked. But also, they knew I wasn't abusing any system, either. They already knew I missed 5 weeks of work to care for her and death was eminent. They also knew I wasn't going to lie or cheat any system, either. I don't do that and have that reputation. Take what you NEED! Your center/hub may be different. Your supplement may be different.
