The University provides time
off with pay to all employees when a death occurs
in their immediate family (defined as spouse,
parents, son, daughter, brother, sister, mother-in-law,
father-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law,
son-in-law, daughter-in-law, grandchild or grandparent)
on the following basis:
-
Full-Time,
Non-Temporary Administrative/Professional
Employees
Employees are paid for absence of reasonable
duration, as approved by their department
head.
-
Full-Time, Non-Temporary Clerical/Secretarial
Employees
Employees are paid for absence up to a maximum
of four days, as approved by their department
head. The intent is to ensure the employee
has paid time off through the day of the funeral.
-
Full-Time, Non-Temporary Facilities Management
and Public Safety Support Employees
Employees are paid for absence, due to a death
in the immediate family, as provided in labor
agreements.
If out-of-state
travel is involved and more than four days off
is required, additional time off may be approved
by an individual’s department head; and
it will be his or her responsibility to verify
the circumstances which make extra time necessary.
If payment for the additional time is requested,
it will be charged to accrued vacation time or
sick leave (if any) in that order. If the additional
time is approved and no vacation or sick time
is available, it will be ‘time without pay.’
If bereavement time occurs when the University
is closed (weekends, holidays, holy days, etc.)
or when an individual is scheduled off (vacation,
etc.), no equivalent time will be granted.
