Health System staff may use their accrued Short-Term Bank time to arrange for necessary time off.

• There is no relationship requirement.
• There is no pre-set limit to the number of days used.
• The staff member must arrange time off with his or her supervisor.

Pay

• Pay for missed work due to bereavement leave is charged to the Short-Term Bank at straight time rates (with shift differential and weekend work premium not applicable).
• Should the death of a relative occur while the staff member is on scheduled time off, the staff member should immediately notify his or her supervisor so that the necessary arrangements can be made for additional time off.

Scheduled Time Off

• Approved time for bereavement leave is considered Scheduled Time Off.

Requesting Additional Time

• Should additional time off be necessary for a staff member to attend the funeral, such additional time off may be requested either as Short-Term Bank Time or authorized non-paid time off.
• Such requests should be coordinated with the staff member's supervisor.
