Full-time regular employees are eligible for bereavement leave for those days they are regularly scheduled to work. Paid bereavement leave for up to three days shall be granted for the death of a member of an employee's Immediate Family. Employees may use other paid leave or may take leave without pay to extend bereavement leave for Immediate Family members, or to take bereavement leave for Extended Family members, with the approval of the Mayor or his/her designee. No amount of unused bereavement leave will be paid at year-end or upon termination. "Immediate Family" includes spouse, children and step-children, siblings and step-siblings, parents and step-parents, grandparents, grandchildren, mother-in-law and father-in-law or a similar relationship as approved at the discretion of the Mayor or his/her designee.
