(A) A regular full-time employee not covered under a collective bargaining agreement will be granted up to five days, or up to two tours of duty for platoon shift employees, of bereavement leave as necessary, not deducted from accumulated sick leave, in the event of the death of the employee's spouse, child, parent, parent-in-law, step-child, step-parents, step-parent-in-law, brother or sister.
(B) (1) A regular full-time employee not covered under a collective bargaining agreement will be granted up to three days, or up to one tour of duty for platoon shift employees, of bereavement leave as necessary, not deducted from accumulated sick leave, to attend the funeral of a member of the employee's family as defined below:
(a) Grandparent;
(b) Grandchild;
(c) Step-Grandparent; or
(d) Other members of the employee's immediate family residing in the employee's household.
(2) This provision is not to be interpreted as an automatic three days or one tour of duty off with pay, especially if appropriate arrangements can be made in a lesser amount of time. In those situations where attendance at the funeral necessitates extended out-of-state travel, the employee may use up to two days or its hourly equivalency for platoon shift employees of accumulated sick leave, subject to the approval of the City Manager, for the extended travel. Such time off may be in addition to the time off provided above.
(C) A regular full-time employee not covered under a collective bargaining agreement will be granted up to three days, or up to one tour of duty for platoon shift employees, of unpaid leave to attend the funeral of a member of the employee's immediate family not included in the definitions set forth herein.
