Section 4: Use of funeral leave will not be charged against accumulated sick leave balances. Section 5: In addition to funeral leave, in the event of the death of a spouse and/or a child of the employee, two (2) days’ sick leave may be used by the employee as additional bereavement leave.

The length of time off shall be at the discretion of the employer. 15.2 If bereavement occurs while an employee is absent on annual leave, sick leave on pay, or other special leave on pay, such leave may be interrupted and bereavement leave granted in terms of 15.1 above.
