Ok. Thank you.could really use 3 because of needing to help dad get things wrapped up but looks like 2 is it. Thanks again
It is 3. Read my screenshot.
Isn’t the 3rd day only if you need to travel?we all live in the same town so it’s all local.

Sorry for your loss. Its 2 days after death and 2 days after the funeral. The 2 days after funeral are not dependant on travel but dependant on if you attended the funeral.

How would they know if you attended or didnt attend?

How would they know if someone died and the obit isn't posted for a week or 2?
Only thing I can think of is if you brought back and turned in the cards that people typically can pick up at the funeral.thats all I can think of.

The contract language in an above post was only part of what it says. The language says if attending funeral or bereavement rite then its 2 days. Two days after death is mentioned seperately. For the close "as mentioned in language" family members.

You don't have to prove anything... if they want to make you prove it then prove it (let them know where services are or let have them call funeral home).... they should feel awful doing that though and I would embarrass them too if they did while you are grieving and all.
If people are lying there are ways to find out down the road and its a definitely something you can be fired for.

You will get two days paid but they will let you take a little more time off unpaid if you need to take care of things. I can't imagine 4 or 8 hours of PT pay for a day or two is going to make a big difference to you but the time off may. My mother-in-law recently died and it's never-ending how much stuff there is to do.
That’s actually what I was thinking we get.i thought they were ok with taking extra days off but wasn’t exactly sure on how many are paid. Thank you

Thats what they would like you to think, they want to pay you for as little as possible ... its your call.
I'm just telling what the contract says and what you are entitled to. Its 2 days after death and 2 after funeral or bereavement rite (if attended). Again, sorry for your loss.

nowhere special
Here its 2 days plus an extra travel day if needed. They usually just pay the 3 days but there have been times they were real POS about it and only paid 2.

People aren't assertive and willing to fight back when mourning and sups and managers know that and take advantage.. I'm just saying the contract was negotiated and agreed upon... it says what it says.
Two days between the death and funeral, the day of the funeral, and a day after the funeral if travel is required. It is 3+1. Read the contract.
