Bereavement leave
After six months employees are entitled to paid bereavement leave of:
- three days on the death of a spouse/partner, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, or spouse/partner’s parent
- one day if their employer accepts they’ve suffered a bereavement involving another person not included above.
The Holidays and Leave Tool can help calculate sick leave and bereavement leave entitlements. It can be found at www.dol.govt.nz/holidaytool.
