As I have not been paid at all for the time off at the death of my dad. I have lost more than half my wages. The company just said that it's unpaid leave and there's no law that says I should get paid. I'm the only one of my family not to be paid for the time off.

If I had known I would have gone back into work and left the rest of my family to sort out everything.

I think it depends on where you work and if they have any type of rules set up regarding that. I'd check with your human resources person.

How much depends on the individual company. But I think they have to allow you a minimum of 3 days compassionate leave, which is paid. You need to speak to the Personnel Dept in your company.

check your company's policy for length of time that they cover - it is usually limited, so some employees usually take some vacation time along with their bereavement to extend the time off.

It is 3 days for a close relative where I work.

IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR EMPLOYER.
IF THE BEREAVEMENT IS A NEAR FAMILY MEMBER - A SPOUSE OR CHILD THEN THEY SHOULD ALLOW FOR THIS IN THEIR EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONS.
OTHERWISE, A TOUCH OF FLUE WOULD DO THE TRICK.

Check out your company's policies. It's different everywhere.
