Absence for Death Clause Samples

The "Absence for Death" clause allows an employee to take leave from work in the event of the death of a close family member or relative. Typically, this clause outlines the eligibility criteria, such as which relationships qualify (e.g., spouse, parent, sibling), and specifies the duration of paid or unpaid leave permitted. Its core practical function is to provide employees with time to grieve and manage personal affairs following a bereavement, ensuring both compassion and clarity in workplace leave policies.
Absence for Death. 1. Five (5) days leave of absence with pay will be granted upon request when death occurs in the immediate family. Immediate family is defined to include spouse, children, brother or sister of the employee, parents, grandparents of employee or spouse, other family members for whom the employee is legally responsible and any other member of the immediate household. 2. One (1) day leave of absence with pay may be granted upon approval by the Superintendent, or his/her designee to attend the funeral of a close relative or a close friend. 3. Three (3) days leave of absence with pay will be granted upon request in the event of the death of a grandchild, brother-in-law or sister-in-law.

  • Upon Death or Disability If the Executive dies, all provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement (other than rights or benefits arising as a result of such death) and the Employment Term shall be automatically terminated; provided, however, that an amount equal to the earned and unpaid Incentive Payments to the date of death and the Standard Termination Payments shall be paid to the Executive’s surviving spouse or, if none, the Executive’s estate (as set forth above), and the death benefits under the Company’s employee benefit plans shall be paid to the Executive’s beneficiary or beneficiaries as properly designated in writing by the Executive. If the Executive is unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s job under this Agreement, with or without reasonable accommodation, by reason of physical or mental disability or incapacity (“Disability”) and such disability or incapacity shall have continued for any period aggregating six months within any 12 consecutive months, the Company may terminate this Agreement and the Employment Term at any time thereafter. In such event, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the Executive’s normal compensation hereunder during said time of disability or incapacity, and shall thereafter be entitled to receive the “Disability Incentive Payment” (as described in the penultimate sentence of this subsection (b)) and the Standard Termination Payments (as set forth above). The portion of the payment representing the Disability Incentive Payment shall be paid in a lump sum determined on a net present value basis, using a reasonable discount rate determined by the Board. The Disability Incentive Payment shall be equal to the target Incentive Payment that the Executive would have been eligible to receive for the year in which the Employment Term is terminated multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such year before and including the day of termination of the Employment Term and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such year. Subject to Section 19 below, the Disability Incentive Payment shall be payable in a lump sum on the 60th day after termination of the Executive’s employment.

  • Disability or Death Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon Executive’s death and may be terminated by the Company if Executive becomes physically or mentally incapacitated and is therefore unable for a period of six consecutive months or for an aggregate of nine months in any twenty-four consecutive month period to perform Executive’s duties (such incapacity is hereinafter referred to as “Disability”). Any question as to the existence of the Disability of Executive as to which Executive and the Company cannot agree shall be determined in writing by a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to Executive and the Company. If Executive and the Company cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint such a physician and those two physicians shall select a third who shall make such determination in writing. The determination of Disability by such physician made in writing to the Company and Executive shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon termination of Executive’s employment hereunder for either death or Disability, Executive or Executive’s estate, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive: (i) the Accrued Rights; (ii) a pro rata portion of Executive’s target Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which Executive’s termination occurs, calculated as the total amount of such target Annual Bonus for the full year multiplied by the number of months or partial months of Executive’s employment during the year of Executive’s termination divided by 12, payable pursuant to Section 4 as if Executive’s employment had not terminated; provided, in the event of Executive’s termination on account of Disability, Executive has executed and delivered (and not revoked) the Release (as hereinafter defined) within the time period specified in Section 12(h); and (iii) a cash lump sum payment equal to the greater of (A) one-half of Executive’s Base Salary as in effect on the date of Executive’s termination, or (B) one-half of the aggregate amount of Base Salary that Executive would have received had the Employment Term continued until the end date specified in Section 1 hereof, payable on the 60th day following the date of Executive’s death or termination on account of Disability; provided, in the event of Executive’s termination on account of Disability, Executive has executed and delivered (and not revoked) the Release within the time period specified in Section 12(h). (iv) Following such termination of Executive’s employment and, if required, payment of the amounts set forth in this Section 8(b), neither Executive nor Executive’s estate, as applicable, shall have any further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement, except as set forth under provisions of this Agreement under which future benefits may be provided, under any other agreements as referenced above in Section 5 and any Long Term Incentive compensation program.
