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.
