Is a Great Grandparent considered an immediate family member in regard to the use of Major Medical Leave?
A. Section 25-3-95 (3), Mississippi Code of 1972, Annotated, defines the immediate family as a, spouse, parent, stepparent, sibling, child, stepchild, grandchild, grandparent, son- or daughter-in-law, mother- or father-in-law or brother- or sister-in-law. Great Grandparent is not included and therefore, major medical leave cannot be used in the case of illness or death of a Great Grandparent.
