BEREAVEMENT POLICY. An employee shall receive bereavement leave of twenty-four (24) hours for an incident requiring one way travel of less than 500 miles, or forty (40) hours for an incident requiring more than 500 miles of one way travel, due to the death of his or her parent, stepparent, step-siblings, mother-in -law, father-in-law, spouse, registered domestic partner, child, stepchild, adopted child, grand-child, grandparent, sister, brother, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, grandfather-in-law, grandmother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, or the death of any person residing in the immediate household of the employee at the time of death. Travel distances shall be computed using the mileage calculator on the Rand ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ website (▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇), using the employee's residence as the starting point and the site of the memorial or funeral as the end point. Bereavement leave is not subject to accrual and the leave allowed pursuant to this provision must be used for any single incident of bereavement within seven (7) days of the time the employee first takes bereavement leave for said incident unless, upon advance request to do so, the County Administrative Officer approves an extension of the seven- day period. Such bereavement leave is separate and shall not be credited against other forms of leave. Bereavement leave shall be used by the employee before he/she makes use of accrued sick time for purposes of the bereavement leave provision of Section 1504 of the Lake County Personnel Rules.
