Summary
The article discusses the lack of a federal bereavement leave policy in the U.S. and the options available to workers dealing with loss. While there is no guarantee of time off after the death of a loved one, around nine out of 10 U.S. companies offer bereavement leave. Some states have established their own programs, and workers without bereavement leave can ask their employer about using vacation or sick days. The article also mentions that certain legal protections, such as the Family Medical Leave Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, may provide options for workers dealing with grief.
