ARTICLE IX - SECTION 19 -
BEREAVEMENT PAY
When death occurs in an employee's immediate family (i.e., current
spouse; parent or stepparent; grandparent or great-grandparent; parent,
stepparent or grandparent or great-grandparent of current spouse; child
or stepchild; brother, half brother or stepbrother; sister, half sister
or stepsister; grandchild) a seniority employee, on request, will be
excused for any three (3) regularly scheduled days of work or any five
(5) regularly scheduled days of work in the case of the death of an
employee's current spouse, parent, child, stepchild, or in the case of
multiple deaths of members of the employee's immediate family (or for
such fewer days as the employee may be absent) during the three (3) days
or five (5) days in the case of the death of the current spouse, parent,
child, stepchild, or in the case of multiple deaths of members of the
employee's immediate family (excluding Saturdays and Sundays, or, in the
case of seven-day operations, excluding regular days off) immediately
following the death provided the employee attends the funeral. In the
event the body of a member of the employee's immediate family is not
buried in Continental North America solely because the death has
physically destroyed the body or the body is donated to an accredited
North American hospital or medical center for research purposes, the
requirement that the employee attend the funeral will be waived. Payment
shall be made at the employee's regular straight-time hourly rate on the
last day worked (or, in the case of incentive employees, the employee's
average straight-time hourly earnings, including incentive earnings, for
the last four (4) pay periods worked immediately preceding the week
prior to the week in which the absence commences) including shift
premium and seven-day operations bonus, where applicable, but excluding
overtime and any other premiums. Time thus paid will not be counted as
hours worked for purposes of overtime.
