Does JHU provide time-off for bereavement?
A full-time or part-time regular staff member is allowed up to three days absence with pay for necessary attendance to funeral matters for death in the immediate family. Immediate family is defined as parent, step-parent, child, step-child, sibling, spouse, same-sex domestic partner, parent-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, grandparents, legal guardian, or other relative for whom they are directly responsible. In the event of the death of other relatives, absence with pay may be granted up to one day for funeral attendance. Time off with pay may be granted at the supervisor’s discretion for a staff member to attend the funeral service of other associates or close friends. Time taken in excess of these allowances may be granted without pay or charged to vacation or floating holiday if available. Please refer to the JHU policy manual for additional information.
