Child Extended Bereavement Leave Handbook Statement: Illinois [250+ Employees]

Full-time employees who have worked for the Company for at least two weeks and experience the loss of a child by suicide or homicide may take up to 12 weeks of unpaid child bereavement leave.

For purposes of this policy, a “child” is defined to include an employee’s biological, adopted or foster child, stepchild, a legal ward or a child of a person standing in loco parentis (in the place of a parent).

Leave under this policy may be taken in a single continuous period or intermittently in increments of at least four hours. Leave must be completed within one year after the employee notifies the Company of the loss.
