Bereavement

What is a Bereavement?  Definition below:

”Bereavement refers to a type of leave an employee takes upon the death of a loved one. Organizations offer bereavement leave to employees to provide time to grieve and prepare funeral arrangements.

A bereavement leave policy should clearly state how much paid or unpaid time off is offered for a grieving period and funeral. While Oregon is the only state that requires bereavement leave, most companies in all states offer an average of three days for a bereavement period.
