I took three days off when my little sister past away she was only 21 years old. Then my employer is threating to take away three days of personal time if I do not bring in the only program I have. I refuse because I am not going to give the program I have. Another thing about it is that I work at a company with 40 other people. They know who I am. I never broke the issue of trust but for some reason they act like they can't trust me. They think that I did not go to the funeral or that I never had little sister.

Just make a copy of it.
(I understand the questioning of such a thing is very insulting to you. You just have to remember that business can be a very impersonal mechanical type of thing and that perhaps no offense is meant).

Make a copy of the program, they would accept that.
Give them the phone number of the Funeral Home who handled the arrangements, the Director's name etc.
Remember the employer is not obligated to give you time off with pay. It depends on company policy weather they allow time off for bereavement.
Sorry to hear about the loss in the family, it is always hard.

First of all, I am sorry for your loss. Go to the grocery store and make a photo copy of it, or ask the funeral director for another one. Funeral directors are always very willing to help you with these matters. They will tell you that this issue comes up often!

At my enterprise, bereavement is neither holiday or unwell time. except, of direction, you're grieving for a chum or for an oblique relative (meaning, brother, sister, mom, dad, or grandparent). That being mentioned, the managers at my enterprise have slightly leeway in that under some circumstances they are going to be very versatile with you and not carry you to the letter of the coverage unavoidably. in accordance with who died, is the quantity of time you get off. i think a grandparent could be a million day, the place a ascertain or infant could be 3-5 days. i think in case you had to take greater day off than is in step with coverage, you will could use holiday.

Sorry for you loss...
Do you have access to a copy machine? perhaps you could make a copy of the program you have. Or did the local newspaper have an obit for you sister? Most newspapers are on-line so maybe you could check that on line. Hope things work out for you.

I am assuming that the company you work for has no guidelines for days off. Usually companies give two to three days for the passing of immediate family members.

I would bring in whatever they want, but I just wouldn't leave it in their hands... at all! I would stand there while they made copies. People have a way of losing things you want to keep, so don't let it out of your sight. If you can't prove that's where you were, then they will probably assume you weren't being straight up with them. Prove yourself, or give it up.

depends on the companies policy... and I'm sorry for your loss you'd think your employer would be more compassionate... but to them it's just business. They don't take into acct we spend 2/3 of our lives there and it is our home away from home.
