Bereavement Leave for genuinely casual employees

The Employee shall be entitled to bereavement leave of up to three days in relation to the death of their spouse, child, grandchild, parent, grandparent, sibling or parent of their spouse, if they have worked for six months at an average of at least 10 hours per week, and at least one hour per week or 40 hours per month.

The Employee is entitled to one day of paid bereavement leave if the Employer considers the employee has suffered a bereavement through the death of another person.

The Employee shall be entitled to maintain their bereavement leave entitlement for each 12 month period after this date as long as the criteria above continue to apply.

The assessment of whether the Employee qualifies for bereavement leave will be made after the Employee has been employed with the Employer for six months (and each subsequent 12 month period) despite the number and length of agreements that have covered this period of employment.
