Leave for Death or Serious Illness in Immediate Family. At the time of a death of an immediate family member, up to three (3) consecutive work days off with pay will be granted to employees provided they are scheduled to work those days, and provided sick leave or other paid leave is accumulated to the credit of the employee and is so charged. Members of the immediate family are defined as spouse, children, parents, brothers or sisters, parents-in-law or other relative, significant others, living in the employee household. In cases where the death of a grandchild, grandparent, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, aunt or uncle, niece or nephew occurs, up to one (1) calendar day off with pay will be granted to attend the funeral services, provided sick pay or other paid leave is accumulated to the credit of the employee, and is so charged. If a staff member wishes to extend the leave beyond that described above due to travel or other responsibilities, such request will not be unreasonably denied, but that time will be deducted from the staff member’s accumulated vacation or float holiday time. A short period of emergency attendance upon a member of the employee's immediate family who is seriously ill and requiring the presence of such employee may be granted in accordance with University policy and the Family Leave Act. Regular Part Time employees will receive prorated benefit.
