bereavement pay

Bereavement pay is a type of financial support provided by employers to employees who have experienced the death of a close family member. This pay allows employees to take time off work to grieve and handle related affairs without losing income. The specific policies regarding bereavement pay—such as how much time off is granted and whether it is paid or unpaid—can vary by company and jurisdiction. Often, the aim is to provide employees with the necessary time and financial stability during a challenging period.
