OFLA (but not FMLA) has bereavement leave which is the leave to make funeral arrangements, attend the funeral or grieve a family member who has passed away. This leave is limited to two weeks and must be completed within 60 days of the date when the employee learned of the death. Bereavement leave will count toward the total amount of OFLA-eligible leave. Additional use of vacation/PTO may also be granted depending on circumstances such as distance, the individual's responsibility for the funeral arrangements, and the employee's responsibility for taking care of the estate of the deceased. Additional unpaid time off may also be granted if the employee has exhausted his or her available vacation/PTO bank. Individual employee circumstances may be discussed with the employee's manager or Human Resources. It is the company's intention to support employees during their times of grief and bereavement.
