A bereavement leave benefit is provided to full-time employees upon the death of an immediate
family member or an immediate relative.
Up to three (3) days of bereavement leave may be provided for an immediate family member.
An immediate family member is defined as a spouse, domestic partner, child, stepchild, parent,
brother, sister, grandparent, grandchild, foster parent, stepbrother, stepsister, stepparent, sonin-
law, daughter-in-law, or parent-in-law.
One (1) day off may be provided to employees who experience the death of an immediate
relative. An immediate relative is defined as a nephew, niece, aunt, uncle, great-grandparent, all
of which are blood relatives. Also included are brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and grandparent-in-law.
Additional time may be granted and charged against Personal Leave Time (PLT) or taken as leave
without pay with approval of the employee’s immediate supervisor.
Bereavement leave will be paid at the employee’s base hourly rate. These hours may not be
applied toward the workweek for the calculation of overtime. Returning to work is a condition of
receiving bereavement leave pay.
Bereavement leave will not be granted for employees on any type of leave of absence, including
Workers’ Compensation.
Proof of death and relationship to the deceased is required.
LOYOLA reserves the right to approve exceptions to this policy at their discretion.
