<\/figure>\n\n\n\nEmployees are entitled to take up to five days of bereavement leave upon the death of any family member described above. For example, if an employee loses a parent and a sibling in the same year, that person can take up to five days of bereavement leave for each death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The five days of bereavement leave are separate and distinct from the 12 weeks of leave permitted under CFRA, which is an additional form of protected leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no entitlement to paid bereavement leave. However, if an employee has accrued paid time off, this can be used to receive pay for the bereavement days taken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your employer cannot discriminate against you for requesting or taking bereavement leave. It is illegal to terminate, demote or suspend you in retaliation for taking bereavement leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
