(b) When a member of an employee’s immediate family dies, the employee shall be entitled to a bereavement period of five (5) working days away from duty which does not extend beyond the day following the day of the funeral or memorial service. (i) During such period, the employee shall be paid for those days which are not regularly scheduled days of rest for that employee. (ii) In special circumstances and at the request of the employee, the five (5) day bereavement period may be moved beyond the day following the day of the funeral or memorial service but must include the day of the funeral or memorial service. (iii) In addition, the employee may be granted up to three (3) days’ leave with pay for the purpose of travel related to the death. (c) An employee is entitled to up to one (1) day’s bereavement leave with pay for a purpose related to the death of the employee’s son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law or grandparent of the employee’s spouse or common-law spouse. (d) It is recognized by the parties that the circumstances which call for leave in respect of bereavement are based on individual circumstances. On request, the Employer may, after considering the particular circumstances involved, grant leave with pay for a period greater than that provided for in paragraphs (b) and (c) above. (e) If, during a period of compensatory leave, an employee is bereaved in circumstances under which the employee would have been eligible for bereavement leave with pay under this clause, the employee shall be granted bereavement leave with pay and compensatory leave credits shall be restored to the extent of any concurrent bereavement leave with pay granted. (f) An employee may request annual, compensatory, personal leave or leave without pay in order to attend the funeral or memorial service of individuals not meeting the definition of “immediate family” as described in paragraph (a) or individuals not mentioned in paragraph (c) of the present article. Such a request shall not be unreasonably denied.
