Funeral

Should you get paid for sister-in-laws funeral?

[Frankie15]

Should we? Yes. Would we? Probably No. Leave regarding a death in the family is immediate family only. So that is Mother, Father, Son, Daughter or Brother, Sister or Grandparents. I think it basically comes down to your managers discretion

Hopefully your manager will be more accommodating

Bereavement
It is an upsetting time when an employee loses someone close to them, so managers should try to give them time to deal with the loss. Employees should be allowed reasonable time off when experiencing a bereavement. The amount of time required will vary depending on the employee’s relationship with the person who has died and the circumstances of the bereavement:
• Up to one week with pay should be allowed for the death of immediate family, e.g. next of kin or a blood relative (spouse, civil partner, child, parent, or sibling)
• One day with pay for parent-in-law or grandparent (or equivalent in a civil partnership or long-standing unmarried relationship). This is usually to attend the funeral
• For other family or friends, any time off granted would usually be unpaid or taken as annual holiday
Additional time off can be considered in exceptional circumstances where the care of a dependant is involved. Further time off may be without pay or taken from annual holiday entitlement.

More than likely a days leave taken .

For some reason death of in laws are not deemed worthy of bereavement by RM even though you have probably known them for decades.
If you are personally struggling or need to support your family with bereavement then best to call your GP who will be a lot more understanding.

We’ve got a young girl here on a 4 day week (her 3 days off are fixed Weds/Thurs plus obviously Sun) told by a manager she had to swap her day off and work either Weds or Thurs as her grandads funeral was on the Tuesday. I told her to ask for that in writing. Not sure what came of it.
