A regular full time employee shall be granted three (3) days funeral pay to arrange for and/or attend a funeral of a member of his/her immediate family. For the purpose of this section an employee's immediate family shall include father, mother, brother, sister, spouse, child, stepchildren, mother-in-law, father-in-law, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, stepmother, stepfather, domestic partner, grandmother, grandfather, grandchild or any other relative residing in the household of the employee. "Domestic partner" is one who meets the criteria set forth in the parties' memorandum of understanding in that regard. A "domestic partner" relationship must have been pre-certified by the Department of Human Resources before sick pay usage may occur.
In the event of the death of the employee's father, mother, brother, sister, spouse, or child, the employee, upon giving notice, shall have the right to take up to an additional three (3) days of Sick Pay. Such additional time shall be charged to the employee's accumulated sick days.
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. An employee working on twenty-four (24) hours tour of duty shall be allowed a third (3rd) additional eight (8) hour period.
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 a regular work day and if such employee was 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 the above one (1) day of funeral pay, three (3) days funeral pay will be granted upon the furnishing of an affidavit to the Department of Human Resources setting forth the facts as to the special relationship.
