bereavement leave

Bereavement leave is a type of time off granted to employees when a close family member or loved one passes away. This leave allows individuals to grieve, attend funerals, and handle related responsibilities without the stress of work commitments. Policies regarding bereavement leave can vary by employer, including how many days are offered and whether it is paid or unpaid. It's designed to support employees during a difficult time, acknowledging the emotional toll that loss can take on an individual’s personal and professional life.
