Bereavement Leave
Bereavement leave allows you to take the necessary time off work to grieve and pay respects in
the unfortunate event of a death of a loved one. If that should occur, Bradley Smoker will give
you up to 3 days of paid Bereavement Leave. As we can’t and don’t want to dictate how this
unfortunate event will impact your life, how much time you take is up to you. If you need to take
more than 3 days, you may take an unpaid leave or use vacation time. Please discuss your
absence with your manager in order for your work to be taken care of while you are absent.
