The County will provide up to twenty-four (24) hours paid bereavement leave upon the death of an employee’s parents, spouse, domestic partner, child (including through miscarriage or stillbirth), stepchild sibling, sibling- in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law, grandparent, grandparent-in-law or grandchild.
In addition, employees may utilize up to an additional five (5) days from their accrued leave banks pursuant to Section 19.2-4.
The Department may require that the employee, within 30 days of the first day of leave, provide documentation of the death of the family member consistent with the County policy on bereavement leave.
Bereavement leave does not need to be taken consecutively and must be completed within three (3) months of the day of death of the family member.
