Unsure about compassionate leave? Get free advice
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.

This is a fantastic service. The advisor I spoke to was extremely helpful and listened carefully to everything I wished to discuss - offering guidance and addressing my concerns. He also called to follow up with me twice to ensure I did not require any additional help. Could not be happier with the service I was given.
We were very pleased with the prompt support over the phone and a representative was booked to come to our office the next day. Excellent and efficient service.
Very easy to make contact, explained in plain English and followed up to see if any more help was needed. Great job thank you
