ARTICLE IX: Bereavement Leave

9.1 In the case of the death of a full-time employee's spouse, child or step-child, mother or father living in the same residence as the employee at the time of death for whom the full-time employee is the primary care giver or who is the legal dependent of the full-time employee, or a partner with whom a full-time employee has had a long-term relationship and who was living in the same residence as the full-time employee at the time of death, the Employer will protect such employee against the loss of his/her basic hourly wages on his/her regular job for up to five (5) consecutive scheduled workdays lost because of such death. The scheduled workdays referred to herein are scheduled workdays lost within ten (10) working days after the date of death of the spouse, child, step-child or partner.

9.2 In the case of the death of any other member of the immediate family of a full- time employee, or a person living under the same roof of the employee for whom the employee has the responsibility of being the primary caregiver, the Employer will protect such employee against the loss of his/her basic hourly wages on his/her regular job for up to three (3) consecutive scheduled workdays lost because of such death. For the purpose of this section, a member of the immediate family shall be defined as mother or father not covered in Section 9.1 above, step-mother, step-father, brother, sister, grandmother, grandfather, great-grandmother, great-grandfather, grandchild, mother-in-law or father- in-law.

9.3 Full-time temporary employees who have been employed for more than six (6) months shall receive bereavement leave in the same manner as other full-time employees as set forth in Section 9.1 and 9.2 above.

9.4 Part-time employees shall receive a pro-rata bereavement leave provided they meet the requirements for such leave set forth in Article VII, Part-time and Temporary Employees. Part-time temporary employees who have been employed for more than six (6) months shall receive a pro-rata bereavement leave provided they meet the requirements for such leave set forth in Article VII, Part-time and Temporary Employees. Such prorated leave shall be determined by multiplying the fraction of the workweek worked by the part-time or part-time temporary employee by the applicable full-time employee bereavement leave set forth above.
