Regular full-time employees shall be granted three (3) days of funeral pay to arrange for and/or attend a funeral of a member of the employee's immediate family. An employee's immediate family shall include father, mother, brother, sister, spouse, child, mother-in-law, father-in-law, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, stepmother, stepfather, grandmother, grandfather, grandchild or any other relative residing in the household of the employee.
One (1) day of funeral pay shall be granted to attend the funeral of the employee's foster mother, foster father, aunt, uncle, first cousin, niece, nephew, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law if such funeral occurs on the employee's regular work day and if the employee is scheduled to work that day.
Where a special filial relationship exists between the employee and any relative for whom the employee would normally be granted one (1) day of funeral pay, three (3) days of funeral pay will be granted when the employee furnishes the Director of Human Resources an affidavit proving the existence of a special filial relationship. A filial relationship is defined as being one in which the employee bears or assumes a relationship with another individual similar to that of a child, offspring, or parent. Relationships within this policy which came into existence solely on account of marriage of an employee shall be considered dissolved on the same day said marriage is dissolved by law or by death.
The relationships of aunt, uncle, first cousin, niece or nephew shall not be considered to come into existence on account of the marriage of an employee.
The wife or husband of an employee's spouse's sibling shall not be considered to be a sister-in-law or brother-in-law of the employee.
An employee shall be granted funeral pay only after the employee furnishes evidence of the death of a person with whom the employee has a qualifying relationship.
Should a death or burial in the immediate family occur in a city located more than one hundred fifty (150) miles from Toledo, an additional two (2) days for travel shall be granted and paid. In the event the third day of such period of mourning falls on Saturday, Sunday or recognized holiday, then the employee shall be allowed the first scheduled day thereafter. An employee working on twenty-four (24) hour tours of duty shall be allowed a third additional eight (8) hour period.
