Section 8.0 Funeral Leave In the event of death in the immediate family of a management employee, the employee shall, upon request to the supervisor, be granted such time off with pay as is necessary to make arrangements for the funeral and attend same, not to exceed a total of five (5) working days. This provision does not apply if the death and/or funeral occurs during the employee's paid vacation, or while the employee is on leave of absence, layoff, sick leave, or any other leave status. The immediate family of an employee includes wife, husband, child, father, mother, sister, brother, grandparents, mother-in-law, father-in-law, or step-parent where there is a child-rearing relationship. Funeral leave applies only in instances in which the employee attends the funeral or is required to make funeral arrangements, but is not applicable for other purposes such as settling the estate of the deceased. It is understood, however, that leave as provided in the preceding paragraph may be granted to commence prior to the death of a member of the employee's immediate family or where death appears imminent.
