What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? VA
I was approved for bereavement leave to attend a relatives funeral, but it didn't state whether the leave was unpaid or paid. The allotted time was taken, but per the company time will not be compensated due to the family member (great-grandparent) not being considered immediate family when grandparents are listed as immediate family. How can you grant someone time to go a funeral service, but not pay them for the time they were away? That doesn't make sense to me. Especially the part where great-grandparents are not considered grandparents and immediate family. The bereavement time shouldn't have been granted being that per their words the deceased wasn't considered immediate family. Contradiction all over the board.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
