Staff Compensation Funeral Leave Policy
(Syracuse University)

Funeral leave with pay may be authorized for you by your supervisor for a period not to exceed three days in the event of a death in your immediate family. "Immediate family" is defined as parents, including foster and stepparents, children, spouse, brothers and sisters, parents-in-law, sons and daughters-in-law, grandparents, grandparents-in-law, and grandchildren. Other relatives living in your household also may be considered as immediate family. If you need more than three days leave time, you may request an extended leave. Extended leave, however, must be without pay unless you wish to apply unused vacation time for the current year to cover your absence.
