Bereavement Leave

Employees who wish to take time off due to the death of an immediate family member should notify their supervisor immediately.

Up to three days of paid bereavement leave will be provided to eligible employees in the following classification(s):

• Regular full-time employees
• Regular part-time employees

Bereavement pay is calculated based on the base pay rate at the time of absence and will not include any special forms of compensation.

Bereavement leave will normally be granted unless there are unusual business needs or staffing requirements. Employees may, with their supervisor’s approval, use any available paid leave for additional time off as necessary.

The Diocese of Brownsville defines “immediate family” as the employee’s spouse, brother, sister, parents, children, step-children, father-in-law, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, grandparents, or grandchildren.
