Arkansas Support Network recognizes the importance of taking leave when there is a death in the family. Where bereavement leave is not required by law, the Company will provide bereavement leave as follows:
All employees are eligible for 3 days of paid bereavement leave for the death of an immediate family member.
You may use accrued but unused paid time off if additional time is needed. Additional unpaid time off may be granted at the discretion of the Company on a case-by-case basis.
For purposes of this policy, immediate family member includes the following and applies both to the family of the employee and the employee's spouse: child (including foster child and stepchild), spouse, sister, brother, parents (including foster parents and stepparents), grandparents.
You must provide notice of your need for bereavement leave as far in advance as possible. The Company may require documentation supporting your need for bereavement leave.
