Yea...bad karma....just call in if you need the day off.Using a funeral just to get off work is about as low as it gets.

Don't you have to use a sick day to get paid for funeral leave? So why do they care what you're doing? I understand why you need proof for jury duty cause they pay you for that.THIS is why management asks all of their questions in regard to both funeral leave and jury duty.
I'm actually requesting bereavement leave today, so I'm glad this thread is here.
I'm not sure if everyone else's contract is the same, but ours states the following:
A regular full-time employee shall be guaranteed two (2) days off to be taken between the day of death and two (2) working days following the funeral provided the employee attends the funeral or other bereavement rite.
So it states 2 days before the service, then 2 after. It then goes on to state this:
Time off shall not extend beyond the day of the funeral unless an additional day is required for travel. In no event shall the compensated time off exceed four (4) scheduled workdays.
So what is it? Two days before and two after, or two days before and one after (I am, indeed, travelling, and it's a grandparent)? It's contradictory language... which part stands?
Is crashing a funeral because you suspect some funny business really any better?Using a funeral just to get off work is about as low as it gets.
I called the 2 guys that worked on either side of the route I was doing at the time. They split up my pickups, I finished delivering, skipped my lunch and break. I was the last 'in town' relative to make it to the hospital. It was a pretty lousy day.
The route I was on at the time, the 2 guys next to that route and another driver used to meet for lunch almost every day. Frequently, we would move work around so that we would all get done about the same time. Was one of the really nice things about working that area.

Yeah I know.. for whatever reason, immediately pictured one of our On Road Sups showing up in browns, all hot and bothered. LolWho says they were just "crashing" it. I've seen occasions where someone from management attends a funeral out of respect and management always sent flowers at my center. At work they can be heartless bastards but off the clock some of them can be human.
