Bereavement Leave Policy

Author: Christine P. Corrigan, CPC Writing Services

When to Use

Although bereavement leave is generally not required by law, such policies are important for employee morale and are a sign of the employer's support for its employees during a stressful time. An employer should consider implementing a written policy if it is required by law to provide bereavement leave or if it chooses to offer bereavement leave.
