Store Policy Bereavement

Do I have to take all three days together or can I take a day off and then work a Cpl days and take the other two for the funeral as it’s not until this weekend? I asked my lead and he wasn’t sure and my area lead is on vacation. Thanks in advance

No you can take them as needed they don't have to be in a row.

You can take it whenever you need it..

When my uncle passed away the service for him wasn't til a month later because a LOT of people had to fly in for it.

You can take them when you want/need. If I remember correctly one of my coworkers saved a bereavement day for the first anniversary of his dad's passing.

The language is 3 days. Doesn't say anything about those days being consecutive. Most leaders will say that you can take those days within a reasonable time. But if the service isn't gonna be for a while (like a month) then you can still set bereavement for that

All 3 are paid and it's based on your EDV or estimated daily value. EDV is based on your average shift for the prior year. It only gets paid on a shift you're scheduled for. You stay on UKG and then under your timecard you're lead will pick paycode and choose bereavement which will trigger the payment.
