Grant statutory right to leave for employees when a parent passes away
Introduce minimum statutory leave for employees after the death of a parent.
Funeral arrangements can take 2-3 weeks to arrange. We think inadequate leave from employers can cause longer term damage pressuring an employee to return prematurely following the death of a parent. Arranging a funeral for a parent is very stressful, then the additional stress of closing that parents life down in terms of their finances and other business.
