7.2A.1 Paid leave entitlement
The provisions of this clause apply to full-time and regular part-time employees (on a pro rata basis) but do not apply to casual employees. The entitlements of casual employees are set out in 4.1.4(g).
7.2A.1(a) Death in Australia
A full-time weekly employee is entitled to use up to 16 hours bereavement leave on each occasion and on production of satisfactory evidence (if required by the employer) of the death in Australia of a member of the employee's immediate family or household.
7.2A.1(b) Death outside Australia
A full-time weekly employee is entitled to use up to 16 hours bereavement leave on each occasion, and on production of satisfactory evidence (if required by the employer) of the death in Australia of a member of the employee's immediate family or household where the employee travels outside Australia to attend the funeral.
7.2A.1(c) Part-time employees
A part-time weekly employee is entitled to take two days without loss of pay, up to a maximum of 16 hours bereavement leave on the same basis prescribed for full-time employees in 7.2A.1(a) and 7.2A.1(b) except that leave is only available where the part-time employee would normally work on either or both of the two working days following the death.
7.2A.2 Unpaid leave entitlement
Where a full-time weekly employee has exhausted all bereavement leave entitlements, including accumulated entitlements, the employee is entitled to unpaid bereavement leave. The employer and employee should agree on the length of the unpaid leave. In the absence of agreement, a full-time employee is entitled to take up to two days unpaid leave, provided the requirements of 7.2A.1(a) and 7.2A.1(b) are met, and a part-time weekly employee is entitled to take up to two days unpaid leave, to a maximum of 16 hours, provided the requirements of 7.2A.1(c) are met.
