(a) Bereavement leave may be granted due to the death in the employee’s immediate family. In the event of a death in such employee’s immediate family, the employee may utilize up to 40 hours of bereavement leave if the deceased is employee’s spouse, mother, father or child. Up to 30 hours bereavement leave will be granted if the deceased is employee’s stepmother, stepfather, stepchild, brother, sister, mother-in-law, father-in-law, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, grandparent, grandchild, or any other person who is a member of such employee’s household as approved by the Village.
(b) Such days will be granted for days the employee would have normally been scheduled to work from the date of death to the date of interment to attend the services of the deceased. The Village may make exceptions based upon special hardship cases, whereby additional time may be granted through use of the employee’s accumulated vacation hours or holiday hours. Case-by-case analysis will be the Village’s basis for the granting of this additional time.
