While compassionate leave may be open to interpretation, Employers Direct experts have experience advising on every situation.
Compassionate leave in Ireland explained in simple terms
Compassionate leave, also known as bereavement leave, is special leave given to an employee on the death of a spouse, child, or a member of their immediate family. Compassionate leave is entirely discretionary and there’s no obligation on employers to give this type of leave or to pay the employee for such time off.
As compassionate leave is open to interpretation and as employees would deal with such situations in different ways, it’s important that you’re prepared for such a request to come along. That’s where Employers Direct can help.
