2. Bereavement Leave is a paid leave granted to an employee on loss of family member. This kind of leave allows employees to spend time with their families in their hour of crisis and grief. On death of an immediate relative an employee is required to make arrangements for and attend the funeral and other rituals. The employee also needs some time to cope with the loss of a family member.

iii. Parents of the employee and
iv. Parents-in-law of the employee
II. This leave is proposed to be for a maximum period of ‘Seven Days’ at each instance. Intervening holidays will form part of the Bereavement Leave.
