BEAREAVEMENT LEAVE. In the case of a death in the immediate family of an Employee, the Employer shall grant the Employee leave of absence without loss of pay, for 3 working days, plus 2 working days for travel, if required. In the event that the distance required to be travelled exceeds 2100 km round-trip, the Employee will be granted an additional day for travel. Leave must be taken within 30 days of the death of an immediate family member and leave days do not have to be taken at the same time. In the event a funeral or memorial service is scheduled greater than 30 days after the death of an immediate family member, an Employee may defer a maximum of 3 days to be taken at the time of the funeral/memorial service. Immediate family shall be defined as: parents, spouse, common-law spouse, children, brother, sister, mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother or sister-in-law, grandparents, grandchildren, and any person who lives with an Employee as a member of the Employee’s family. In the event the Employee requires additional bereavement time, arrangements shall be made for this additional time to be granted and deducted from accumulative sick leave on the recommendation of the Employee's physician.
