Sorry for your loss.I’ve seen it asked and seen different answers and mostly vague answers.i’m Part time and on my 19th year at ups.my mother just passed away so I need to know how many day I get for bereavement. Thank you
You can take as many days as you need. Take care of family first, worry about Ups later. You will get paid for 4 days, but if you need more time then you can go on fmla to take care of any other matters that you need to get done. I'm sorry for your loss brother.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
I agree... its about the principal and healing time not the money. The death and the funeral are emotional times and it bothers me that management will do what they can to help themselves and not the employee who is mourning.
I was part time when my paternal grandfather passed and I didn't take any time because back then I thought I was causing work a problem by missing time. When my maternal grandfather passed a few years later I was a FT driver and it was during peak. I found out after I arrived at work and decided to stay since I was already there and there was nothing I could do. Probably the hardest day ever. I told them that evening I wouldn't be there Thursday and Friday and the funeral was Saturday (we didn't work 6th punches back then). Sup and manager had me come into the office trying to intimidate me to not miss the next 2 days. I didn't back down because I felt I did them a favor by finishing the day I started when I found out. After that experience I learned they don't care about you or your feelings.. you have to fight back and stand up for yourself. You are just a number to them.
