PDQ provides bereavement leave to employees who need to take time off because an immediate family member died. To ask for bereavement leave, see your supervisor.
Employees in the following employment classifications are eligible for up to 2 days of bereavement leave with pay:
* Full-time employees
* Part-time employees
While you are on a paid bereavement leave, you will get your base pay rate but you will not get any special forms of pay, such as incentives, commissions, bonuses, or shift differentials.
We normally will give you bereavement leave unless there are business reasons that require you be at work. With your supervisor's approval, you can use any available paid leave benefits you have, such as vacation, if you need more time off.
For bereavement leave, "immediate family" means your legal spouse, parent, child, brother, sister, your grandparents, legal mother-in-law, legal father-in-law, legal sister-in-law, or legal brother-in-law. The Human Resource department may grant paid leave for other family members on a case by case basis.
Some form of proof must be provided to Human Resources before you will be paid for the beareavement time. Proof could be in the form of a newspaper obituary clipping, or a memorial flyer from the funeral service, etc...
